Old Collingwood Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share #36 Posted June 7, 2020 Evening all - so glad to see our refreshments have turned up - building is so much more fun on popcorn, so work continues with the cockpit tub - I gave the bang seat a bit more weathering really starting to bring the details out now, next off was the tub its self - I painted the side walls in flat alum then gave the rest of it a mid sea grey wash in watery coats, then I used a mixture of Black and alum high lighting to bring the details out, same principle with the instrument panel and the rear plate, I then glued them together and dry fitted the seat to check it out. Still needs the HUD, and a few other fittings. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share #37 Posted June 8, 2020 Evening all, got some more good progress today - despite it taking what seemed like ages to put thin paint layers on with hairdryer between each coat, so I put the HUD on the pe frame (fiddly is not the word) as you can imagine not getting glue on the clear part was mission inpossible, after it had set I tried to sand the glue out on the one side I could get to - then I tried the old method of polishing the plastic with tooth past (as you do with canopies, it did a fairly good job but still left behind some marks (not a problem as the front screen will mostly hide this). So - the tub is finished with the seat glued down. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share #38 Posted June 8, 2020 I put the tub aside and going by the structions - next area is the front wheel bay and front fan blade assembly/surround, the blade assembly trunking is one piece and needed a tiny bit of clean up - then it received severa..............l coats of dull white acrylic with a brush (as I mentioned above) I was aware of getting tiny specs of dust and hairs on the paintwork so I needed to keep checking for this, It will need a bit of a polish as its supposed to be a smooth almost satin finish, next was the wheel bay - this comes in two sections to aid detailing, so agian it was a case of putting down several coats of dull white, then when dry I ran a dirty wash of watery dark grey/black and heated it with a hairdryer (they were renowed for catching all the dirt and grime in there - same as the main wheel bay). Oh, and the fan blade received some flat alum. Here is a pic of the above on my mat after painting.

Old Collingwood Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share #47 Posted June 9, 2020 Hi all, more work today - next stage was to construct the main wheel well, this is made up of Four parts and contains some good engraving like the front, after cleaning up some of the edges (nothing drastic - just where the pips from the spru were joined) I then did a few washes of dull white, then when dry - same procedure with a dirty wash, then a bit of alum high lighting, I then glued both parts of the front wheel well together. The airbrake pit them got a coat of flat alum and a wash, also I glued the front fan to the assembly and dry fitted against the front wheel well assembly. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share #48 Posted June 9, 2020 Right the frontal assembly is now complete - I had to first mask (put a bag over the cockpit tub) and spray the intake ducts before attaching the fan unit, next will be some detail to create inside the cockpit/fuselage sides.

Old Collingwood Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share #51 Posted July 13, 2020 Evening all, I decided to crack this open again and try to progress it further - Firstly I had to do more dry fitting of the two internal sections (Front cockpit bath/front u/c bay) and the rear main u/c bay, it took a lot of testing / fettling - testing / fettling rinse and repete several times, as the Two fuse halves were just not meeting smoothly, eventualy I got them how they should be. I decided to glue the sections in the one side first - then some more checks and all was ok, so I added a slight bevel on the edges and applied glue to the one face and offered them up together, I used some tape and gentle hand presure to line them up while they set. After I worked on the seems with my knife and fine wet and dry. So his is where I am at. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share #54 Posted July 14, 2020 Evening all, some good progress today I think, the fuselage had set well (nice and solid with no flex you sometimes get) next off was to fit the swivel frame inside for the Four jet exhausts, these are linked by a swivel bar linked to Four hubs that stick out each side that in turn have the exhaust units glued to them (I will leave these off till the main painting is done). I thought I might have some trouble as the instructions call for this to be done before both sides are joined, but I managed to ping them into position as there was a bit of flex in the bars, I set the ngle I wanted then glued the bar in place. Next to be done and an area where I was expecting troubles (as its a commen akward area in other kits of the Harrier) the engine intake surrounds with blow in doors, these doors in the kit come Two options 1) Fully open as in hover 2)Patial open as in ground position, these doors/flaps are gravity affected so when on the ground the upper ones fall open leaving the lower ones shut, but in the hover the draw of the air from the engine forces then open. These units come in Three parts - the main casing - the doors and an inner trunking, putting these together was not an issue and went togther well, but the fiddly bit that normaly creates a head ache (Tamiya 1/48 SHAR) is getting a clean fit on the fuselage, as the sections in between the doors need to sit flush with the fuselage, anyway no such worries with this kit - just some dry fitting and some gentle sanding and the fit was fine, so I glued them in position and just did a small amount of clean up from the glued joins. So far so good - so I thought "Go for it with more" next up the wings, again on the Tamy kit this was a problem with wide gaps here - there and everywere, after gluing the one piece top to the Two bottoms - not mutch tidy up was required, the wing unit basically just went down glued into place. The only issues I had was making sure the front edges of the engine acess cover part of the wing sat down into a ledge in the wing, to aid this I trimmed away slightly along the edge till the wing sat nice and level. The only alarming fault with the kit is - ontop of the wing at the front is a T piece shape section that should just be square in shape, when the wing is in place this leaves quite a noticeable gap that is not really any good for filling with my filler as it sinks, so I came up with a fix with ca underneath and a small square of Tamiya tape held in place by the ca (doesn't look too bad) So here we are at the moment - wing on joins sanded - not looking too bad - a very enjoyable build if im honest.

Old Collingwood Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share #57 Posted July 17, 2020 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.

Old Collingwood Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share #60 Posted July 18, 2020 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.
