    Immersion suit and life jacket finished.
    Still to do;
    a) connect hose to face mask and hardware
    b) attach face mask clips onto helmet.
    c) make face mask clips

    Then start on the base.

    "....... You got anything planned fir the vase ?"
    Assume you mean the base , if so, yes; at the beginning of the thread, going to build a 1/144 SHAR, cut away the tail and mount on the plinth, with some 'clouds' disguising the rear of the jet. Well thats the plan :LOL:

    Been working away on getting the 1/144 Sea Harrier built, just neeed a bit of filler so not bad for kit that dates back to the 80's, Will need painting and decals adding, then the canopy, which will be painted to reflect clouds (I hope).

    Replacement P-Mask clip was kindly sent from Ross, as one had snapped;

    No figure provided for the cockpit ( in the kit) and to get one , none in the uk, would have cost over £30!, but cant leave the seat empty, hence my idea to paint the glass as if reflected clouds and sky, lol.
