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..jpg.d1a80034223a7fc2cb80d409ee7ae721.jpg)

Missing your work, hope all is well. OC.

Glad your still looking on Edward - more to come on the build yet, since posting the above I have added the yaw vane and started to fit the stores shoulders/pylons. OC.

Amazing work - eye watering detail - hat off to you sir. 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. OC.

And dont foreget the deafening noise from the "Bang" I understand a famous word between troops was "Pardon" or "Whatttttt" OC.

Evening all, so here we have Denis multi tasking having two rifles. OC.

Evening all, more work in progress will show after I have finished "Running Man", the admiral came up with a good idea - I should give them names after all my friends on here - wonder who could be who? OC.
-
Yep, he is "Bluey" dont know why😛 I think next will be "Pinky" - only joking thought it more interesting to give them an identity. OC.
-
Evening all more work this time here is "Bluey" just waiting to be flat coated. OC.

Yep its brilliant for info, check sites like Ebay or direct for makes like Lion Roar, Pontos, White Ensign, there are quite a few companies who do detail sets. OC.

Excellent work - really taking shape with all those frames, should be built in no time with that giant building her😉 OC.

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.

Thought you might find this useful as it shows different mods to improve the kit - gonna be an epic build. http://www.hmshood.com/hoodtoday/models/trumpeter/trumpeter200.htm OC.

I think that is his scribblings about a mass party for us all at his place - the writting is the menu for all the food goodies we will get😜 OC.

Start a build Lou - would love to see it. OC.
-
"Wowzer" you have some nice stuff to keep us glued, the B24s always looked to heavy to fly to me, and the B25 - I am sure my dad used to speak about them when they were over this side of the wet stuff, and the Osprey - what an amazing Heliplane/Planecopter - I have seen a few at shows and even the one over the top of us. Got my camping gear out ready for these. OC.

Very very nice work - more of an architectural builder than a model maker. OC.
