I have used an Airwaves Mk12 seat and the
PJ productions pilot. I cut and re-built the flaps, drooped the ailerons,
opened all the aux air doors and lengthened the undercarriage to replicate
the positions when in the hover. I utilised an article on ARC and
references from pictures and the real thing. Decals were from a number of
sheets matched to make the markings for this jet. It is a commission build
for one of the RN pilots; he went solo on the Harrier in this jet. I have
used and extract from his log book to add a bit of interest, and a
squadron badge and a Royal Navy cap tally around the edge
Painting was with Hannants acrylics
and various oil washes and pastels.
