neil5208 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Just finished Italeri's A10A/C in 1/72 for the Shark mouth GB but with warthog tusks rather than the usual shark mouth seen on most A10's. Used the HiDecal sheet no 72010, it has 2 experimental schemes for the A10, one with the Warthog Tusks. Built nearly OOB with just the Master Brass barrel set and I swapped the kits Sidewinder for an Airfix one, painted with Tamiya and Valejo acrylics. The kit has a few issues, seat is to tall for the canopy, engine nacelle fit, incorrect radar warning antennas for an early A10A but its still a pretty good. As usual all comment are welcome.

opus999 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 That's a terrific job on that A-10! I've never seen that camo scheme before, I kind of like it. I love those warthog tusks too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Nicely done indeed, I could well be tempted toward this scheme, or get another A-10 kit. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to do some of the other experimental schemes such as the JAWS schemes from the 1977-78 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petetasker Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Loved the experimental A10 schemes and this was one of the best - lovely model 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Great Warthog! Looks great in the Peanut scheme too - well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Very nice job! Great colour scheme! Do you know how this kit compares to the Hasegawa or Tamiya kits (are all they the same)? I know you had some issues with the kit, but it certainly looks the part. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Jason Tamiya and Revell have reboxed the Italeri kit, just different decals. As to the Hasegawa kit I have not seen one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmouredSprue Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 nice model. It's a shame you have some silvering with the decals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
