Some big mistakes I did while building this kit:

  1. Scribed the panel lines too deep, and without a proper ruler (freehand)
  2. My first attempt painting with lacquer paints left a lot of webby residue – I didn’t thin the paint properly
  3. I didn’t spray a layer of clear lacquer before using the ProModeller weathering wash
  4. I didn’t seal exposed seam lines properly, especially near the cockpit and on the fuselage / fuel tanks

Well, since my Harrier II kit from Hasegawa contained two Harrier kits, I guess I’ll have a second chance at building this.
