HobbyBoss 1/48 A-10 Thunderbolt II


Recommended Posts

This is my recent project. A very nice kit, without any issues, except for the clear parts for the Maverick missiles; they just don’t fit into their places.
Used Eduard canopy masks and PE for the cockpit, and metal pitot tube. Only thing I’d change would be the rubber tires. I mean, they’re ok, but if they had resin, for instance, those would take a better weathering.

Decals were also good.
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers!

Very nice, a great green green grey Hog!

 

Interesting maybe early weapons loadout!

 

I can't see any Maverik missiles, but GVU-8 TV guided glide bombs instead!

As well as GBU-10 LGBs and some cluster bombs.

 

Great modelling work!

Are those kit decals?

Thank you! That's right, I've decided not to use those mavericks. And yes, these are kit decals.

The colors look great - Lizard A-10 is the best a-10! Another motivation to put this kit on my shortlist. Good job on blending the decals into the camo scheme, too.

Thank you!

PS Am I weird because I think the A-10 is a pretty plane? :hmmm:

Thank you! Not at all. A lot of us think the same.
