That will look great and will add some "life" to the model. The night fighter version would be an impressive "what if". Apologize that I didn't get to that cockpit yet. Maybe one of these days

You are making quick work of this one, Dan. It's looking great. I'm glad you reprinted the parts in PLA (except for that nose section) as the one I had done in all resin was just too heavy. As has been commented, I the changes to the intakes over the Moonbat's short life were significant. It was certainly one of the areas that was the hardest to figure out what the various configurations were vs. time. I'm glad you are tackling some of these "short kits" that I drew up. When I look at your list, there are plenty of other ones on that list that I have started tackling or plan to tackle. Glad you are having fun. Look forward to the next set of progress pics.

Looking great, Dan!

Great work, Dan. Appreciate you identifying some of the errors in the original design and adding much more detail to the project. chad

Amazing work, Dan. It looks fast even when sitting on your bench!

Fantastic work, Dan!

Fantastic, Dan! It's all coming together really well. Nice trick on the magnets too. Looking forward to seeing the fuse assembled with the tail in place.

Wow, Dan, keep up the outstanding work. You continue to bring this big beast to life! Thanks for your continued feedback on the design so that tweaks can be made in the CAD file. chad

Looking great, Dan. Maybe we should have gone for 1/24? Looks a little on the small side.

That’s looking great, Dan. Sorry about sending you the wrong missile bay file. New (correct) one is in your inbox. It’s stacking up into a real beast and good work adding the extra parts for the pit and nose gear bay detail. I just haven’t made it back to add those in the design file. Keep these inspiring updates coming!! Chad

Looking great, Dan. You are making fantastic progress. Hopefully the revised file will make the fuse sections a little stronger for the next print. Kevin is right, there is still a place for that FDM printer, until we can master the art of structural stability on these thin resin sections. Keep up the great work! Chad

Hey Lee, Ping me over at flyingSmodels@gmail.com and we can chat.

Great start to the project, Dan. I'm really glad you are off and running with it and I look forward to following the progress. And appreciative of any feedback on the design. Keep the updates coming! Chad

Just completed a review of the pre-production sample for Alan Wilson's (Islandic Fine Art) upcoming release of the Sea Harrier FA.2. He's also working on an FRS.1 as well as a GR.3, all in 1/32 scale. Make sure to check out the video and contact Alan Wilson via email (alanwilson1959@mail.uk) or through the message board over on Britmodeller to get more information on these great kits and to reserve yours today. Production will be very limited. Chad

My apologies for the late reply here, guys. To answer a few of the questions/comments I saw...the video is new, not old. In fact, I just recorded and edited it yesterday in between sessions working on the master patterns. Alan, Chuck, and I have been working together since the summer on this one. Still lots left to do by making progress each day. I'll be starting on the 1/32 wing fold patterns here soon as the cockpit and other 3D printed parts are in work by Chuck. And we are working on a 1/32 CA-15 as "we speak" and also a talking a few other 1/32 subjects, including an ASW version that hopefully we'll get rolling on soon. Cheers! Chad
