Congratulations with a very pleasing result, on what appears to be a kit with very-very high loss rate :-) You must be a very determined and patient builder, to finish with a beautiful Harrier under those circumstances.
Wow! It is a beauty! Even more so with all the issues along the way. I only wish that someday I will have enough skill, patience and, honestly, toolset to pull off such amazing build. Chpeau bas! Meanwhile, I got back to one of my favorite topics - I have F-14A on my desk. First gen 1/72 Hasegawa with raised panel lines. But besides that, fit is surprisingly good for 40 year old + kit. It is going to be out of the box, wheels up build with as little sanding as I can get away with - because of the raised lines. I'm trying new thing to accent these lines - I'm tracing them with a pencil and combining that with Tamiya PLAC wash in recessed lines and so far, I'm having a lot of fun. It also means that likely my proper Draken will get pushed back to 2021.
Beautiful job on a challenging kit! What is this MLT you are using to thin the paint, lacquer thinner or leveling thinner? Just one small suggestion, the text at the bottom of the video is very helpful, but sometimes hard to read with the background picture. Perhaps a larger and/or bolder font would work. Thank you again for sharing your excellent work.
Thank you very much, brianc1701! MLT is short for MrColor Levelling Thinner. I will do something about the font in future video; I didn't change it when I moved from HD to 4K. I will increase ot a bit and make a darker semitransparent background I think ;)
Thank you very much, Judy. Yes, I realised afterwards that the text was difficult to read on light background. Recently I started to I add a semitransparent background to make the captions more visible on my videos. Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope you could figure out what was going on anyway :)

Thank you Lars! :D
I love this aircraft so I just had to finish it. But I guess that being a bit stubborn helped a bit.

I'm very curious about the Finemolds F-14A kit in 1/72, I think it looks really nice. Best of luck with your build!
Hello nice model , what is liquid sprue ?? are they broken pieces of plastic from the frame?? and if so, how are they dissolved?? Thanks
The kit might have been a hand full but you saw it to the end and a cracking build well done

A very lovely job, but difficult to see the writing along the bottom! Thank you, Judy in Nova Scotia, Canada

Can you see... there is no internal fuel tank ? Especially to hold the Volume of liquid JETA required? 2800 litres ?
