Betty,

 

this project is coming alomg very nicely, lovely work on the front windscreen.

Have you decided what colour scheme you will paint it as?

Your model looks like it is well on track to be completed in time for the fortieth anniversary of the Falklands conflict next year.

 

I would love to build a 1/32 Pucará and Sea Harrier but will wait till the kits appear some day.

 

Keep up the excellent work,

 

P-t

for using the LAUs i will have to finish the wingpylons first. these are twopart (as seen at the beginning of the thread):

the inner part is attached to the inner wing/fuselage part, the outer one the the outer wing. this gives a nice joint to glue

there is a lot of work to get them smooth, since due to the 3D printing there are layers visible on the sides

in front of both pylons are pretty prominent landing light behind a little windshield.

i tought of vacforming it, but these are flush wiht the pyons, only a very narrow frame around them.

so i first cut and filed the recesses and mounted two reflectors:
