I completly agree with you that there really is something more satisfying
about seeing any MOC built out of real ABS rather than renders.

Thanks Bryce for your kind words and of course for the dat-file of the A-4.

Making a ABS version the three-colour IAF variant is not as easy as I first
thought. For the moment there are no triangular plates of any kind available
in tan, and no double slope parts (4857) used for the intakes in either tan,
green or brown. I am thinking of substituting the green parts for dark grey
or maybe sand green, but in any case I must redesign the intakes with other
parts.

I don't criticise you Bryce for using unavailable parts. In the LDRAW no
colour is forbidden. On the contrary I very much like the challenge to
overcome these problems. Finding and presenting acceptable solutions is what
makes the Lego hobby so great.

I let you know when the A-4 is ready for take-off.
