Thanks Blacksheep! Hey, go big or go home! LOL! :giggles: I hope to get back to these next week.

Thanks Joe! That kit set came out right after Desert Storm. Amazingly enough, my wife bought my first one from Sears when they were clearing them out and closing their toy department. I'd built three of the four aircraft back then and misplaced the A-6 and later had the F-117 stolen. When this came around, I figured I should start it now. Then afterward I'd start the F-117 again.

Yes, I got the cockpit for the harrier painted and decaled so I should be able to post something soon. The Intruder hasn't moved aside from massive sanding.

Stay tuned, hopefully sometime this week or early next week.

Okay, as mentioned above, I started on the Marine Corps Harrier AV-8B Plus by painting and decaling the cockpit:

Later I closed it up. This bird needed a little convincing:

It was convinced! The joint of that fuselage looks great. I then added the horizontal tail surfaces:

Next I decided to save some time later by adding all the underwing pylons:

This is just a test fit to see how well the wings fit:

I love the fit; this is one well engineered model!

Thank you guys! Carlos, the Harrier is certainly fitting better than the Intruder! Man does that one need a ton of filler and sanding!

Thank you Lyle and Mike!
