Great work!

Excellent work Chris! :)
Thanks for Potuguese GR.3, but the Korean SHAR looks particularly good! 8)

Many thanks Chris for the Korean Harrier. Most excellent work.

Thanks all! Back with a few more after a bit of a break. First is another Korean navy Shar, low viz this time:


A retro USMC AV-8A:

The retro USMC one is a winner - would look outstanding in plastic.

The lo-viz Korean Sea Harrier and the retro-scheme Marine Harrier are both gorgeous.  Only nit to pick is that the Marine one would either be an AH-1, since the final contract came through St. Louis after the US rights were transferred or the AT-1 if Northrop had insisted on retaining the US rights.

Just a thought: to match that retro-scheme, an AV-8A in Blue Angels markings.

Thanks all! Here's another requested Thai Matador:

I knew I'd balls up the designation! Thank god they got rid of that system, from looking over the wikipedia page it seems needlessly complicated and inconsistent.

Gorgeous AV-8S+ and a suitable way of earning some foreign exchange for surplus Hararier GR.3's.  It would be interesting to see Thailand run all of its Harriers through a CILOP program to update them, where practical, with AV-8C upgrades, especially the LIDS and doing away with the internal camera.

Almost missed your second Thai Harrier (slapping self in the head).

Awesome!  And thanks!  :)

oooh just noticed back on page 6 ...   8) waw, stunning, how the  :o did i miss that one, very cool, it looks soo right too, many thanks indeed Chris, it looks so right in the scheme too (hmm im wondering how it would look in similar markings but in the later two greys 'redigo scheme' as applied to the Hawks ? maybe even with UV.16 pods in place of the Matra's ?)

cheers, Joe

I have been in contact with Chris just recently.  He is well.  He has just gotten caught up in some other hobbies such as making UAVs and getting engaged. ;)

Making UAVs as a hobby or professionally?  The first could get "interesting" if you get too good while the second makes for interesting work, even if you can't talk about it.
