Thanks Christian. I really like the scheme on the test aircraft and I'm hoping I can do justice to this one. The Sword kit is a typical short run kit, so I'll have to pay attention!

Cool! A new Bill Gilman build! Obviously I'm in! Enjoy the build (even for a Sword kit...)! 🙂 👍

So jealous, I failed to get the Sword 2-seat Jump Jet so far.

The build is moving along - the fuselage is assembled and the seam work finished. I had to scratchbuild a coaming for the front instrument panel as the one supplied by Sword is flat and wider than the fuselage. Someone wasn't paying attention on that one. I added the front HUD using parts from the PE fret and leftover film from a Sea Harrier kit. The front windscreen was dipped in Future prior to attachment to the fuselage, and then faired in with PPP. After this work was done, the cockpit was masked off and the model painted with a grey primer. I'll give that a day or two before I spray an overall white as the base for the Raspberry Ripple scheme. It won't be long now! Cheers, Bill

Whew, that was a lot of fiddly masking, but the Raspberry Ripple scheme is on the Harrier. Still lots of work to do before I get to the decals, but I like how she's coming together. Cheers, Bill

Hi mates, the decals have been applied to the VAAC Harrier. I think she looks rather nice in this scheme. I used the decals from Vingtor instead of those from Combat Decals - when comparing both to photos off the real plane it was apparent that the Combat sheet had several inaccuracies. Things like font and line weight, etc. Plus, the roundels on the Combat sheet are all the same size, whereas those on the wings should be larger. Anyway, enjoy the pics. Lots of fiddly stuff left to do - the usual 80% of the work that is left after you've done the first 80%! Cheers, Bill

Great Job, I like the paint work, much better than what I did.

Thanks guys. I spent a lot of time getting the masking right. It's a wonder the tape had any adhesive left since I took it on and off so many times!
