Sea Harrier FRS1. – part 2

First I added detail to the seat, as it was a tad too simple. As I’ve decided to use the pilot I didn’t need to do any belts.

The pilot got some color on the uniform, and the cockpit and fan got a cote of black.

The pilot and seat got some more colors. I mostly worked with different tones of green/olive green. White helmet and black gloves and boots.

Silver (Hu11) was painted on the fan, and then masked off, and the cockpit side walls was painted a medium grey.

The pilot got some shadows and dry brushed highlights.

and the cockpit got some grey.

I test fitted the wings, and they don’t align. Part of the problem is the tab that prevents the upper wing half to align nicely to the fuselage. Also the wings halves doesn’t align, which needs to be sorted.

After removing the location tabs, the fit was a lot better.

Once that was sorted, I glued the fuselage halves.

This concludes this part.

Next, puttying, sanding and assembly of small parts.

Cheers,

Håkan
