I know you know Im new to your vids and this build as of this weekend (also new in general with ISM for only a month now, but not a complete noob, but out of it for many years as I commented to you). So what can I say with my mediocre knowledge of plane building... AMAZING build.

This cool jump jet just got a real nice build and PE application with a superb paint job. Well done so far!! Looking forward to the completion of this bird, even tho I came in late, I'm here for the next 3 weeks or so. So please count me in and hand me some popcorn.

Thank you so much Tony. I'm coming to the end on this one so not long to wait

Thank you Anders

Panel washes..
I would normally slather (sludge wash) on an oil wash all over the model in question and when dry rub off to leave a nice dirty finish. With the Shar though I didn't want a really dirty/weathered appearance so I've used a pin wash for the panel lines, unfortunately I didn't take any images



It's quite subtle in the photo but it is there..





After a couple of days drying time I've applied a matte cote using Testors Dullcote..





A short time after that I had a right laugh trying to get the nozzles and blast protecter thingy fitted, but a lengthy discussion they decided to cooperate..





Next up is a landmark fit... legs on! The light at the end of the tunnel..



I normally struggle with undercarriage but this time I was fine..





Arty shot coming up....



Just the dangly bits, canopy, some clear bits, and the pilot figure left.

That is looking superb Tim great paint job and love the subtlety of the weathering top job mate

Cheers Scott, I just worked out that it's the fourth time that I've built a Harrier, FRS.1, GR7 etc, which must make it my favourite aircraft.... and I never knew..

That's looking great, excellent work!

All done lads, thank you for your commitment
