Looking good Bish! That's really strange about that plastic in the intakes though. Looks like you got it all taken care of though.

Construction of the Shar is complete so ashide from masking the canopy and intakes, its ready for primer. After Stuart mentioned the intakes, i realised i had used the wrong ones. Airfix offers 2 options but doesn't explain which option should be used for in flight or on the ground. While i was able to remove the intakes, i could not take them apart. So i ordered the resin Pavla set which was swiftly fitted. The doors and hatches will be done off the kit.

And while its in the paint shop, i'l get to work on a tractor for the diorama.

Been a while since i updated as both the harrier builds slowed a bit, partlydown to some issues with the GR.9. But here is the Shar painted and decaled and ready for some weathering.

Very nice! Although it looks like a big aircraft, the Harrier is actually quite small.
