    Evening all, A bit more work on this today, first I fitted (tried to fit about Fifty times) the outer wing fence - they are wafer thin pe pieces almost to tiny to pick up, but I managed in the end by placing them and not breathing till I could put a bit of ca glue along both edges, after doing that and exhailing I turned my attention to the stabilizers, these have plates that glue to the edge and these are then glued in place on the airframe.

    Evening all, I got a bit more work done on this today - firstly after studying my pics and looking at my Shar I thought there was a bad molding fault with it, near the left hand wing root there is a curved hole - I am not aware of this on the real aircraft, but after checking the instructions I found a curved part that pops into that hole, I think it might have been the auxiliary refueling probe that some harrier could/would use. This was soon rectified and I moved on to an area that was bugging me - on the top near the rear cockpit area that patch I had fitted (I didn't like it) so I sanded if off and worked the area till it was smooth. Next was to work on the flaps and ailerons, these are seperate items seperated by the venting tube, the outer ailerons I glued in the trimed position, but the flaps I partialy drooped. 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.
