I have been thinking about doing her as ex falkland vet XZ-439/2, the reason behind this particular frame is - in 1982 just after the falklands war my late farther saw an add in the paper talking about an airshow at Farnborough where some ex falklands harriers were due to be there, anyway after soom pleading by me, my farther took me to the show and I got to see the Sea Harriers display there, one of them there was indeed XZ-439/2. Here are a couple of pics showing her at the show (the lighter grey one) Pics not mine they are off the net. OC.

Welcome back to the pack, right straight in with the canopy - the glass unit needed fixing down to the frame after both had thier edges cleaning, then using a tooth pic ultra fine tip - I dipped the end in some revell pro glue and ran it along the frame and pressed the glass down, then I sat it in place just dry fitting - its a start. OC.

Requires abit of adjusting to get the fit right no doubt - just apply the notion "test fit three times - cut once" just keep checking things before cutting material away - saves many tears latter (We have all been there) OC.

Hi all "Are you stil there", I am getting back on this very soon and giving my Waterloo figs a little break, I have sent off for some more Tamiya Surface Primer - waiting for it to arrive, in the mean time I will prep her ready for the primer, I will have to mask up the main sliding canopy then temp attach it down possilbly with some blue tack inside the glazing onto the top of the Bang Seat, then it will be a case of checking all over her before laying down the primer.

I think they push them right against the bulkhead for maximum recoil so the cannon works at it best, if you wanted to show some life on her, you could also display a few recoiled back with tight ropes. Spledid work you are doing everything looks the part. OC.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
