Hey gang and welcome back to my return to modelling on KZread! Hope you enjoy the video, there are a few glitches in the video for some unknown reason, so please don’t go out buying a new device (unless it’s a good to use excuse of course ;)) The model stand is available on my website www.theinnernerd.com and is completely made by me. The money made from it helps support the channel and keep the videos rolling, maybe even full-time one day… lets see. Otherwise, have a great Christmas/break if you don’t celebrate it and see you next year, Matt :)

Coolest plane in history

It has been a journey watching your videos over the years. You can see how your skills have developed into producing an extremely nice looking model. Also the production of the videos themselves have become very nicely done. Your commentary has added a great value to the educational aspects of the techniques you employ. The music is not overwhelming and just a nice background. The camera work and lighting are some of the best to be scene on the net for modeling videos. Even my 4 year old grandson enjoys your videos. Thank you for all your hard work that you put into them. I will be ordering one of your stands after the holidays to help support your channel.

Thank you for following me for so long! I think I’m roughly where I want to be in terms of the video making and it makes me happy to see that viewers can see the development also. I’m going to keep the calm and collected feel to the videos moving forward, ASMR meets modelling I guess haha. Thank you for the comment, this is what keeps me motivated to improve with each build, both in terms of the model, but it’s presentation too. Thanks again and have a great Christmas also :)

I love how you liken your circle cutter to a torture device, that's the kind of humour I like

Thank you and thanks for watching :)

Couple of minor points regarding the harness straps: On ejection the pilot eventually separates from the seat, whilst generally finding it preferable to remain attached to the parachute. In the real thing this is achieved by a catch mechanism which essentially lets go of the harness at a determined point. The upshot is that the waist straps should be inside rather outside the seat pan. Similarly the leg restraint lines that you added are "plugged in" via the pilot's leg straps on boarding. The free ends were generally draped over the control column on exiting the aircraft. Typically, these lines are blue. Really enjoyed the video and various top modelling tips. Thanks! PS/ Some more rivet counting from me: * The engine access panels are actually the 4 *forward* of the wing and these hinge and prop independently. What you refer to as access panels are in fact an aerodynamic fairing. Iirc, the small panels on the fairing allow access to the lifting points. * The Pegasus engine is a topic in its own right (The Andrew Dow book is great if you're interested) and an important aspect is that it effectively has a separate front and rear section (that rotate internally in opposite directions). The front is the fan section and thus blows relatively cold air out of the forward nozzles. The rear is the exhaust of the turbine section and is MUCH hotter. Heat staining effects differ accordingly. * The engine has its own starter/aux power unit (minimising the need for ground support equipment) that intakes and exhausts through those rectangular ducts on the engine access panels. Left hand is exhaust, right (with the mesh) is the inlet. The exhaust one gets quite mucky. * The red line on the wing root highlights the ground fire extinguisher point for the hot end of the engine. If flames appear during start, the ground crew poke the end of their extinguisher lance into the hole in the vain hope of preventing an unscheduled barbeque (aka "business meeting" nowadays apparently). The red box should surround the hole.

Hi, a superb build! The colour texture and 'feel' of the GR3 has been captured beautifully. The only thing (and I hate to say it) is that the forward nozzles were powered from the 'cold' compressor side of the Pegasus engine, so was unaffected by hot efflux. They were always in normal paint finish. The 'hot' turbine fed rear nozzles were very much heat affected and so would have looked as your patina effect. The 'puffer ducts' were also fed from the hot side of the ECU and similarly coloured as the aft nozzles. Your representation certainly brought back many memories. Thank-you.

Fair comment - you should use source images when researching paint and finish. The front nozzles if not painted, would have been natural steel finish rather than having a heat burnished effect. My recollection of 4 Sqn Harrier GR3 aircraft from the early 80's were front nozzles painted green, aft turbine powered nozzles very heat burnished. In the hover, there is no cooling airflow, so things got very hot. The aft fuselage from the heat shields was very, very sooty and oily - often it was impossible to read the tail number - hence we relied on the fin and outrigger idents. The back third of the GR3 was probably the dirtiest airframe I ever worked on!

....now in the stash!!! Super video.....as always!! Thanks....
