Here's how my Airfix 1/72 Harrier GR1 finished up with the addition of a little wool roving teased out and white glued in place.
This was a really straightforward build and a nice little kit from Airfix - the build thread is
here if you want to see how this came together.
Onto the reveal
Thanks as always to everyone that followed along with the build and offered advice and encouragement

You must be very satisfied with the effect.
I think it looks so cool.
Great work I love it.

Great idea! That jet wash effect works really well and it even hides the stand a bit too!

Thanks guys
The jet-wash/dust cloud looks a lot softer in reality; it looks like the studio light I use has picked out the individual strands a little harshly so I might try again with natural light if I can find a way.

A bit envious of the patience you must've had to make that dio, I'd be too scared to put a peach of a build like that into one.
