W.29 definitely. Biggest thing I'd like to see from WnW is updated engines. The sprues are going on a decade old now, and you can see a big difference between the brand new kits and the much older engines. Matt

One is definitely on my shopping list once the LHS gets them in. Actually my first new-tool Tamiya build since the Zero that I built more than a decade ago. That is until they produce a late version F-14A or F-14B that is. Matt

Harold, let me look through my books for you Matt

A new IP coaming would go a loooooooong way to helping the look, and can contribute research for it if needed Matt

Especially the decals, which have a tendency to explode as soon as they hit water. Would like to see a direct replacement for the kit decals, since no one seems to do the all-black Dr.1 Matt

I think they did a Spitfire correction set for the Hobbyboss kit, and didn't do any kit of it themselves. So it does happen on occasion that they'll do a fix Matt

Brian, if you're having low back issues, check your shoes. A lot of those nerves are tied into your lower back, and bad or worn-out shoes can definitely lead to back pain. Matt

Thank you so much everybody! Really glad you all like it! Yes, the roundel placement definitely could have been better. Pretty much anywhere else would have been better, but there was probably some sort of rule about where they had to be. Getting to work on the underside weathering. Probably going to be a light filter, and then some thinned Smoke over the roundels to show the structure Matt

Thanks very much Iain! Glad you like the work Matt

Yes, let me dig through my books for you. As far as I can tell, the coaming is the same shape between the US and Brit Harriers, so the photos should work. Matt

This is the future of modeling, and it looks awesome! Matt

Since it looks like you're going all-out with making it accurate, definitely looks like the instrument coaming needs some work. The real Harrier coaming is very angular on that port side, but Trumpeter molded it the same as Hasegawa, smooth all the way around Matt

Just incredible. I'd think you were using a shrink ray on a real Boeing if I hadn't watched this whole thing come together Matt

Too cool Peter! The work is just at an incredible level of precision. Matt

Did have to paint the sunburst on the tail, just couldn't get the decals to conform or look right. Matt
