I couldn't ignore the way the middle stone looked green, completely ruined the scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil5208 Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Couldn't resist starting the decals last night, been waiting to get the warthog tusks on since I starting painting. Always surprising how a few decals can change the look so quickly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Looking good especially after the repaint. Yes certain decals do bring a model to life. As an aside I have never seen the Flipper scheme on the Phantom before, only on the A-10. Looks nice though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil5208 Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 I have got most of the decals on, just the tiny "No step", lifting point markers and pylon warnings to go on but I will use the kit decals as they are printed better. The HiDecal one have gone on fairly well but have more carrier film than needed. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Looks great with the dentures in place. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil5208 Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 Small update, done some work on the ordnance fit last night. Using the kits MK20's and an Airfix AIM9L as the kits sidewinder looks a bit over scale. Tonight will be undercarriage and the soldering of the minuscule brass barrels set. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil5208 Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Got the Mavericks and pitot mounted, sprayed Tamiya Matt Clear and unmasked the canopy today. Undercarriage is sprayed ready to be assembled. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil5208 Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 Warthog is on its wheels, wasn't fun get the smaller gear doors on straight. Just the gun barrels to do now... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Looking really good. I'll be looking forward to some daylight photos to really show off those colours. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Looking very good, especially with all the weapons fitted. You cannot have an A-10 without weapons, no matter how many pictures do actually show this. It just does not look right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil5208 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 Finished at last. The master gun barrel set proved far to fiddly to assemble so it just a few parts but it still looks pretty good. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilisk Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Great outcome . A pity about the silvering on some of the decals. Did you apply them over a gloss finish? Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorfinn Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Very nice! Where I live I get the chance to see Maryland Air Guard A-10s flying over the house with some frequency...but in much more muted colors. The engines have a sort of high-pitched whistling sound it's easy to recognize. Beautiful work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
