Hi All,

I will be making a  OOB Harrier GR3 with wheels down, and given all the snow that has been falling I will be going for a winter camo effect.



So far I have painted the internals, and started to glue parts to other parts.











Sadly my little box of goodies was missing a canopy  
but hopefully a new one should be with me soon

Now the Harrier is looking like a Harrier it was time to get the filler out to fill the seams along the wings and along the top of the  fuselage.

Followed by lots of sanding.

then I primed the Harrier, to find that the seams were a little rough, so the whole process had to started again

This time the seams seem a lot better. post some pics soon.

Work has been busy, so modelling has been a bit slow.

As has the white paint, several coats on but the little harrier is in need of a few more.

My canopy has now arrived from Airfix, so planning to mask that tonght before getting back to spraying white!
