Nice work on the inlets and nozzles, the canopies fit is very good. The GR.3 nose is my least favourite of the Harrier family, just looks odd. So did you get all the wheels to touch the ground?

The canopy was really nice actually.  Had a slight moment with the pilot being slightly off-centre which meant the canopy didn't quite fit...

As for the wheels... erm, no.  Dry-fitted three times, but when it came to fixing the centre wheels in, the outriggers were just shy a 1mm short on either side!
