I’ve got an oil wash done in the cockpit and have started on more detail painting...



I have some instrument decals on the way for the IP.

Yeah, looking for the AV-8B Harrier so I can build it as Boyington’s Bastards squadron of the USMC.

Cockpit look nice, Carlos.

Thanks John. A couple more sessions and I’ll get it all wrapped up inside.

Tom, there are plenty of Bs available in 1/48. I did mine in Tomcats markings from the 91 Gulf War.

Yeah, I know there are. Do you have a good recommendation for 1/48 scale “B” Harrier? I know I’m going to look in scalemates sites and see their reviews.

If you don’t mind raised panel lines, the Monogram kit is excellent for the original type. For the Night Attack or Harrier Plus the Hasegawa kit is great.

I have the Hasegawa AV-8B Harrier II+ in the stash.

I’m still working in the cockpit here....

Finished up the ejection seat



and I started adding the Airscale instrument decals to the panel



The IP decals are going to be something of a slow process...

Great to see this hit the bench Carlos - and looking good thus far.

I'll be interested to see how this compares to the Airfix GR.3 I have in the stash.

Looking good, Carlos.
I’m surprised you didn’t look into Yuhu IP. They look fantastic.
