You might try to post this in the aeroscale forum

Ian, if no one offers any help here, or in the mean time, do a google search. The only probelm with that is some sites have the info you need, but it won't come up in a google search{like the interior shots of an M4 t18 tractor that I needed}...that's when a fellow member here can lead you in the right direction. Try a search on site, then on google while waiting for answers here...

Why in the world would you refer to aircraft modeling as "the dark side"?
Who says that we must stick with one type of modeling.It is good you are opening up to aircraft,you should try ships also.They all present variety and diffrent challenges.No sense being closed minded.

anthony i never meant to annoy or upset any one just a little light humor is all ,, i started out with 1/72nd scale airfix planes, and i am ,, sorry i was a pro figure painter for 3 1/2 years with a uk company called n&t productions ,,, i have done every kind of modeling and your right , there is so much to learn from other aspects of the hobby , so im back to planes for the first time in about 20 years ,, i need all the help i can get ,,

thanks bob im just about to do that now ,,, fingers crossed ,, hard work all this reference finding

thanks william ,, good point

Hi Ian try the Aircraft Resource centre .com thats a good site they have a walk around of the Sea Harrier and some kits in their Gallery. hope this helps
P.S.just did a google image search for sea Harrier lots of photo's even a cut away drawing.

no offense taken..........sorry if I came off wrong............all plastic modeling is good,were all in the same community and much of the techniques and info apply to all.

thanks for that john , im l;ooking there now ,,top marks

no bother anthony , im just branching out again ,, just a little light humer is all that was intended ,, keep kit bashing and lets all have a productive new year

At first I was afraid that you'd gone into bi-planes :-)
