  Subject: FIRST SUBMISSION

  After looking at other modeler's Gallery articles over the past 15+ years (from my work computer) and getting my first real computer for x-mas, I bribed my youngest daughter(30+) by telling her if she help me submit my first Gallery article, I would put her in my Will. I have two loves (don't tell my wife) modeling and photography and it is a perfect marriage between the two hobbies. The ocean background in my pictures cost me a cruise to Bermuda. I am now retired and working to reduce my stash of model inventory. I am lucky to have room to display my 30 + previous builds. Your website has been a tremendous motivation to me to improve my skills. Hope I have not messed up this submission. Thanks Steve!

  The build was basically OOB for the kit with some scratch building for the diorama deck tractors. The carrier weapons and fire tractors are from Verlinden, the carrier deck from JustPlaneStuff and the figures,weapons and other equipment from Hasegawa weapons series.Both Model Master and Tamiya acrylics were used in addition to Vallejo Model Colors for the figures.

  It was a straight forward kit to build without any fit problems. Needless to say, more time was spent on the diorama pieces than the plane. The ocean background shots cost me a cruise to Bermuda. I was fortunate enough to see a live demonstration of the Harrier's capabilities at the Atlantic City Air show this year, which made the build more enjoyable.

  Thanks for looking!
