I agree about the nose section, it actually looks as though it has a polygon on the back of it, hence the discolouration.

Looking forward to filling this long overdue gap; it would be really nice to have the GR3 in time for the Falklands 25th anniversary, an appropriate memorial!

Here's where we're at as of last night. New nose job is on the way....

Apart from the nose I agree with those that say the canopy is too high.

A GR1A landing on Ark Royal in 1975. With the sea as a background you can see that the line of the canopy almost follows the curve of the fuselage and is not raised above it.

Hope this helps, it's really looking good so far.

Just noticed the tall blade antenna on the spine which is characteristic of the AV-8A not the GR1/3.

Yep,it looks like youre still using the Sea Harrier canopy and windscreen?

The cockpit height is better now. Looks closer to this profile

Bear in mind that the whole cockpit is raised on the Sea Harrier FRS.1 compared to the GR.1/GR.3 canopy should basically be flush with the fuselage at the top-back and the nose is considerably shorter.
