TheStig 1,030 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Kit manufacturer: HobbybossScale: 1/48Type: A-10 Thunderbolt IIExtras used: Eduard canopy masks, Aftermarket decals, scratch built FOD coversPaints and colours used: Tamiya and Mr Hobby Finished today. Very much enjoyed this build, Finished in arctic aggressor camo, couldn't get the exact decals so its finished as a bit of a what if scheme. Slightly overdone the pre/post shading and the pva glue on the bomb lenses hadn't dried when i took the pictures. Anyway, here's the pics and thanks for looking 61 Link to post Share on other sites

speedy 970 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Very impressive indeed. If I may add having made the FOD guards it would look even more polished with RBF tags. Steve. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Adats-Coyote 39 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Very nice! Inspiring scheme! Looks good on an A-10 as much as an F-16! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mcdonnell 3,067 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hello,The Stig - I don't care if the markings are a little 'what if',there's no doubt that this is a beautifully built,finished and resplendent looking tribute to this fine aircraft.I love it! All the best,Paul. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Madhatter 1,832 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 man that is possibly one of the best A-10's I've seen to date. That scheme looks perfect on it - much better than the usual lizard camo or plain gray 1 Link to post Share on other sites

batcode 3,533 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 fantastic looking A-10. great job on the scheme and very nice finish..... looks great nice work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Spitfire31 2,389 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 An amazing, dramatic A-10! In fact, it's the first depiction of an A-10 that I don't find slightly boring. ;-) While I might agree that the weathering is a little bit heavy, it somehow goes along well with the rest of the wonderfully outrageous finish. I like this one A LOT! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to post Share on other sites
