I was just about to say the same thing, one on the shelf and one for the garage please! Keith, that is an absolute stunning build of a beautiful car. Thanks for sharing your trials and tribulations with the Italeri kit. I don’t frequent the vehicles section as often as I should, but I think that must be one of the most beautifully finished model cars I have ever seen.

A little known livery worn by the A-10 after easyJet recently announced a return to Tel Aviv flights…

That is a stunning looking early Jaguar! I just hope mine (i bought two of these beauties) turn out half as good!

Absolutely stunning in every way! It could easily pass for the original 1:1 version!

Oh wow! Just Wow! And be still my beating heart! 🥰🥰🥰 So you might get the gist that I love it! Superb modelling and, like Duncan, I too have two of these waiting to see the light of day.

Another productive day yesterday in the modelling cave. The engine fans are incredible and a long way away from the blobs of plastic representing a jet engine's front fan from years gone by. Looking at various reference photos, there's a few different colours on the inside of the intakes, which I have tried to replicate. The engines themselves are then encased in the cowlings and then mounted on the rear fuselage sides. The fit, as with the rest of the kit so far, was astonishingly good. The wings, which include most of the lower fuselage were also fitted after the flaps and ailerons were attached. So, right now she's looking very much like an A-10C 🙂

That is particularly impressive! I've just watched the video and I thought that I knew a thing or two about British aircraft. But to be honest a.) I had never heard of the Sopwith Salamander before and b.) I did not know that a dedicated ground attack aircraft was developed so early on. There, every day is a school day! Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing part 2 of the video.

Wow!! That is a stunningly beautiful aircraft and the model is not bad either!! 🥰

A productive evening in the modelling shed has got this wonderful kit looking a little bit like an A-10 now! This has to be up there with best 1/48 model aircraft kit EVER!! It simply falls together with very clever engineering and absolutely bonkers detail. I'm off to bed and cannot wait to get stuck in again in the morning. 🥱

It's an overcast and rainy day down here in France, so I've been working away at the A-10C and really loving this kit. It is so beautifully engineered and has been a real joy to put together. The detail is just stunning! I'm currently waiting for the Quinta Studios A-10A cockpit set and as soon as that arrives the plan is to start on that and bring it to the same point of construction as the A-10C and do them both simultaneously. Anyway, enough waffle, here's where I'm up to so far... I've really enjoyed watching everyone else's A-10s coming along, some really great work on show and I'm just so happy to playing along with this GB. I am determined to finish them both and finish a GB for once!

Lovely work!! 🥰

I'm looking forward to getting mine out of its box, yours has provided plenty of inspiration! Superb work!

I'm also as blown away as the rest of the gang here! That is something to be incredibly proud of and yep, you had me fooled too with that first photo! Incredibly realistic modelling and photography. 🥰

Super stuff!! I love the helmet!

OMG!! I am in scale model kit Nirvana! I’ve started with the first of the two A-10s and I decided I’d start with the -C as I already have all of the aftermarket that I wanted to use to adorn what is already an amazing kit. I’ll say that again. It’s an amazing kit!! Well done to GWH! The engineering and detail is simply mind-blowing! As is nearly always the case, construction starts with the cockpit and as a huge fan of Quinta Studios, their cockpit detail set was used here and I’m really very happy with the way this has turned out. There is still quite a bit of work to do before the fuselage halves are sewn up but this is where I’m up to so far. Cheers everyone!

I wish somebody had told me that 45 years ago! 😂

Thanks guys, I’m completely committed to completing this duo but as you may know, my track record of completing Group Builds is an astonishing 100%* *100% of not finishing! 😂

Hi everyone and thanks for having me here to join I the fun. Excited? I’m buzzing!! The airbrush has been stripped and cleaned, the compressor has new oil, the spray booth has a new filter and after a hiatus, I’m really ready to go and start the two (yes two!) A-10s that are sitting here in the modeling shed. No surprises as to which kits I will be using as the clue is in the title of this thread, but here’s a reminder… I’ll be adding a bit of aftermarket as soon as I’ve decided what the budget will stretch to, but I already have the Quinta instrument panel sets as well as whole host of ordnance from ResKit. The schemes are still a research in progress but will almost certainly include a Euro 1 schemed A-10A based at Alconbury. So enough of this wasting time on the Internet, I’m off to the shed!

That’s just wonderful work on that kit, you really have created a lovely replica and the only reason I have not bought the Airfix kit is the lack of a special operations option.

Hi Bruce and may I first just say a simple “WOW!!” That is first rate modelling and only the true Harrier aficionados would be able to tell her any discrepancies from the original aircraft. I certainly could not! Another shout out for Nick Greenall who has helped me in my own project of getting my head around the various Kinetic 1/48 Harriers, specifically the T.2. I don’t know if the modelling companies are listening, but a 1/32 Harrier, not to mention a British Phantom, Buccaneer and a Jaguar, are well overdue! Fantastic work again Bruce, I’ll be drooling over that for quite a few days to come!

Truly wonderful and another B757 to admire here in RFI. Sadly I flew for too many years in those wretched orange things… 😉

From a former B757 pilot who completed the type rating with BA. She is stunning in every respect! Such a wonderful aircraft and the Landor scheme was so, well, so I very classy.

She is truly a thing of great beauty! 😍

Stunning work! Just as I thought that I had got my own builds planned for this year, you come along with this incredible masterpiece and inspire me to get my own one started! I’ve looked for the Jam Screw blades, but they seem to be sold out now.

Excellent news, thank you Kōtare!! 🐦
