Roger Newsome Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) First of all apologies to the purists regarding the external stores. I didn't want any empty pylons and despite searching through what seems like hundreds of photo's online decided to use a bit of artistic licence, however having said that I don't have a problem with anyone pointing out any glaring errors. I'm aware it would be unlikely to be carrying all that stuff plus the external fuel tank but I couldn't help myself. 😁 The decals are from Two Bobs and painted throughout with Mr Hobby Aqueous.

exdraken Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Very nice! As you ask for some critics on the loadout: The Gbu-10s are a bit suspect to me, as are the Cluster bombs above the tank.... but you never know Edited August 20, 2018 by exdraken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcap Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Great work Roger. Just a question if I may. How much weight did you put in the nose to prevent a tail sitter? I am just finishing mine, it has a shed load of lead in the nose ........and it's (still) a tail sitter and will need a clear plastic rod at the rear! Once again, great model.

Gary Thanks very much Gary. I think I put 5g in the nose before closing it up naively thinking it would be enough. There's another 10g + stuffed in the front wheel bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger331 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Roger, Nice model and......you would be surprised how much stuff they hang off an A-10 !. I have been fortunate enough to have seen quite a few of these over the last three years and even when that have been operating in the training mode, they have had at least three/four pylons occupied with stores or pods. IMHO the only 'suspect' part of your loadout concerns the two bombs immediately adjacent to the centreline drop tank. I have never seen that configuration before....the Hogs I have seen did not carry any other stores under the fuselage when the centreline tank is fitted. Well Done, Sir ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovely Pig Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Now that's just nice, I say load it up too, it's what it was designed for after all 🤔. Well done Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here comes an admission of guilt. When I was searching the net for images I came across a photo of someone else's model with the Mk-20's either side of the fuel tank..... hmm, that looks good, you can guess the rest. I only feel a small amount of remorse. 😄 10 minutes ago, Lovely Pig said: Now that's just nice, I say load it up too, it's what it was designed for after all 🤔.

Gary Hi Gary, the 15g I mentioned above is just what I weighed, I also stuffed some more blutack in without bothering to put it on the scales (I was pretty frustrated by this point) so there's probably a little bit more than the 20g you've put in. It is only just on the front wheel, the slightest nudge and it's back on it's tail. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
