stevej60 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hi folks,been quietly doing the Hobbyboss A10 "easy" kit for a couple of weeks while waiting for parts to dry on other projects. I am not really a "modern" aircraft builder and the last A10 I built was Matchbox,s kit when it was brand new.I have no idea how accurate this kit is but fit of parts was superb(only eight parts make the complete airframe) and the panel lines were some of the best I have come across from any maker.many thanks for looking. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 That's excellent Steve - well done! You really are turning to the dark-side of modern aircraft - civilian first and now this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCornetto Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Nice work there without a doubt. Those HobbyBoss 'Easy' kits are great value for money and an excellent way to try out new techniques or make drastic conversions without worrying about wasting money. Just wish they would expand into post war UK subjects. Imagine...a 1/72nd Easy Build Hunter FGA9 for a few pounds....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Stix,that,s not the worst of it I just started Revell,s 1/144 USS Fletcher today which is going to be a real epic.Still waiting to Start my two 1/48 spitfire 9,s which were going to be my Autumn project.

Mike DeTorrice Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 An outstanding A-10, Steve ! This one's a gem and she looks great in this grey scheme with those neat panel lines. Fine pictures, too, and I imagine that head-on view, with the massive Avenger cannon, is likely the very last image many bad guys have seen !

Robin-42 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I've always avoided A10's, because they have so much going on externally, it would be easy to get bogged down in a build. This might be just the ticket to a quick A10 on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick32 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Very nice, not very often i see an A10 on here, might have to get one myself. Thanks for sharing, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelglue Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Thanks for sharing these pics, love the grey scheme and it has a whole different look when it isn't loaded with killy things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepureness Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Nice build, but there seems to be something missing, like a payload of weapons of destruction which I believe do not come with the kit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azureglo Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Outstanding paintwork and I have to agree about the surface detailing: I'm doing their Do 335 as a WIP and the engraving is excellent, easily as good if not better than the Dragon version which I was going to do instead.

NavDoc Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Nice job! This is the way they used to look when they were flying from a nearby base in their later years-- mean and clean. Impressive the way they would seem to just drift down to the ground , almost hovering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
