Sid de Koning Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 What's wrong in this picture? <some powerful terms>.. Finally got the HUD out and decided to quit for today.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid de Koning Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Today's has been a good day.. got the HUD back in after well more than an hour of fiddling about and I made the GAU-8 from Eduard PE and some more ME. I must say I honestly think this is the best looking GAU-8 in 48th I have ever seen.. Can you tell I am proud? The best part is it came out exactly as I wanted.. I believe it's the focal point of this particular airplane/model. Back where it belongs.. inside of the canopy a lot of stuff is missing.. Eduard supplies the PE only, but I had to thin the plastic considerably.. real metal 0,8mm barrels, still 1,5 mm too long here.. after Alclad 112 steel it basically looks like this.. let's talk business.. ooh yeah.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid de Koning Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Another big mishap occurred.. a piece with CA glue on it flew into my canopy.. in the most forward part of the windshield. Almost impossible to get out, but after breaking off one of the instruments hanging in the windshield I got enough room to remove it. But off course the paint was gone there too. I finally figured I could use some small flakes of black dry transfer and did so. I am not entirely happy about this at all, and I think it really stands out, but I can't make it better than it is now. Normally you hardly see it.. but as for me.. Aaarghh.. drytransfer is very thin and brittle.. the damage on the instrumenet coaming is really really obvious in this picture.. At the arrow I drilled a 0,3 mm in the rivet.. to get the missing part again onto the top of the windshield.. et volia.. easy trick to perfectly align the mirrors.. ACES2 into the tub.. Now with the canopy on.. Altogether Sandy is done.. Final pics will follow soon, since this monster is too big to fit into my mobile photo studio.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Inspirational work! It somehow looks better than an actual A-10! Thanks for sharing in such detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid de Koning Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 I am really glad I finished this model and now have a pretty decent OA-10A.For the final pictures look here:http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234942565-148-oa-10a-thunderbolt-ii-81-fs-panthers-oaf/?p=1348298 Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cunners Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Having seen the finished product on the other thread I came to find the build thread and I now see why it looks so good. That is some amount of effort that you have put into the model, I only wish I had your skill and could make my models look like yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
