Associate Editor Aaron Skinner demonstrates how to effectively use aftermarket resin details on Tamiya's 1/48 scale Sea Harrier.

That is some mighty fine work. I'm just getting back into building model airplanes. It's been probably 30 years or so since I built and airplane kit. I have a very long way to go to even try and approach the level of detail that is in article. I see I have a lot to learn Great article.

Great article!
It never stops amazing me that so much can be learned and improved upon by simply watching and reading how other modelers approach their craft. Small techniques,like the application of CA glue to resin pin holes, and larger one, like the import protective techniques in using resin, add continuously to the total of one's modeling experience.

Nice build up. I'm planning on building my own AV8-B harrier but I'm gonna use a ton of extras mainly custom photoetch sets and decals. The kit is an old Esci/ Ertyl.
