Hasegawa 1/48th Harrier GR.5

I made some good progress on the GR.5, today. I finished the weathering on the airframe. Some subtle post-shading was done with the AK mottle masks. I also gave the panel lines one, faint pass with some Tamiya Smoke. Based on the information from Mr. Steve, I added exhaust stains down the side of the fuselage using Tamiya Smoke tinted with Vallejo Chocolate Brown. The Brassin Exhaust Nozzles were sprayed with AK Xtreme Metal paints; Dark Aluminum for the front pair and burnt iron for the back pair. The blast plates were painted as well. I also got the BL755 ordnance painted. I left the carrier blocks on since that was a good place to clamp them to be painted. Those will be carefully removed once the paint drys.
 

Blimey that mottled effect has totally changed the look of it, I totally like it.

Thanks so much, guys!!!!!!!

I always loved the looks of the Harrier. Glad to see you build one Ian. Mighty fine paintwork so far!

That floats my boat alright

Pretty cool paint work there Mr.H

I worked on the sub-assemblies as we get close to the decal phase. The wheels and outriggers were painted and received their washes. I also got the pylons painted and applied panel line washes. Lastly, I added fluid leaks and stains to the underside of the fuselage.
