Wdedig Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Greetings This is my Monogram kit built as an A-10C with some antennas scratch-built and Eduard photo-etched interior. I used a Black Box resin Interior for some of the upgrade such as the seat and the canopy raising components. The Decals were from reidairpublishing and they were really good. No silvering ,handled great and settled down really well. Stripes, as on all D-Day markings, were a bit of a challenge. Gunze Olive drab and Vallejo Grey, Clear coated with GX 100 and Semi-Gloss final with decanted Mr. Hobby Semi-Gloss. 43 Grams (Yes metric for an American) nose weight for correct stance. Master nose gun and Pitot were absolutely stunning. Thanks for Looking Comments Always Welcome Cheers Bill 43 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 That is one pristine model. Given the commemorative nature of the markings, it's highly appropriate that it be in semi-gloss finish. Out of curiosity, are those travel pods on the inboard underwing stations and, if so, may I ask where you got them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inside armaments are actually the Napalm tanks that come with the Monogram kit. They really looked like the load out from internet photos so Travel pods they are.😊😊😊 Thanks again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
