Got a few more bits done - the radome, tail nozzles and intakes fitted. The intakes were a bit of a fiddle and will need a clean up.

The tub it's sitting on is covering the clear parts that I dipped in future - it sounds made but this is very exciting. 10 years of modelling and I only got my first bottle of it this week! This is the first time I've used it and I'm looking forward to seeing how the clear parts come out.

Cheers!

Ok, Stuart, I'm gonna need you to slow down a bit here. I'm so far behind on my builds that I've lost where I'm at with some.

Very nice work though! I have an AV-8B Harrier II+ in the stash.

So at this rate it will be all done tomorrow right? I use the same set up after I paint something it goes in the upside down tub works great as a dust free drying area.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Not if Lyle's Pun's kill me first :giggles:

Thanks guys - it really is a simple little kit - hardly any issues to contend with and I think the weapons sprue is bigger than the aircraft!

Folki - glad to hear it works well then - it's the first time I've tried it. I haven't had a look yet to see how the futured canopy has come out as alas, I've done something to my foot and can hardly walk due to the swelling. :whiteflag: It's bloody agony!
