Telboy3510 1,066 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Hello Everybody, this is my latest offering, the Thunderbolt II or 'Warthog'. I wanted to build this one just because it was different and I wanted to attempt the colour scheme. It was built straight out of the box with just the addition of a pilot. I made work for myself because I wanted to display it flying, and obviously the wheels do not fully retract, also I decided to show it with the flaps / air brakes closed and that went horribly wrong ! I ended up virtually rebuilding that part of both wings. top and bottom with plasticard, in fact the whole thing was retrieved from the bin twice. Given those problems I am quite pleased with the way it has turned. it was painted entirely wiyh Tamiya acrylics. Anyway here it is, as usual all comments and criticisms are welcome. Thanks for looking. 21 Link to post Share on other sites
