Popular Post Creepy Pete Posted March 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2022 Hello all, Here's my just finished 1/72 A-10A, done as an early 1980's one from Myrtle Beach AFB in South Carolina. I used the Revell rebox of the Italeri kit, which I got for my birthday last year from a friend. I added an Aires cockpit set, some Quickboost intakes and a pair of Brassin TER's. The camo was done freehand with MRP, and the markings came from a Wolfpak sheet and some kit stencils. The kit is not perfect by any means, but in the end it looks like an A-10. Thanks for looking!

Pete in Lincs Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Nice Hog, Pete. They're still a very impressive Aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberraman Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Fabulous! That's exactly how I remember the camo Hogs at Bentwaters too. Lovely finish and subtle weathering. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Wow! It looks like a real Hog! Superb build and exquisitive weathering. It looks much bigger than 1:72nd and I guess it's partly due to your fine-tuned handling of the panel joints – just hinted, and not filled in with dead black. Impressive work! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 That really is a stunna. Still the best scheme they've worn, imho & you've made a super job of it. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfa1983 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 The kit may not be perfect, but that build and paint job in particular are! Brrrrt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billn53 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Not the easiest kit to assemble, but you’ve done a fine job with your’s, and your camo looks spot on! Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 That's a very fine A-10 & I hope that I'll get mine done as good as yours. I've also built this Italeri kit & personally can't see what's wrong with it, as opposed to the Academy 1/72 kit which I found a real pain in the butt to build.

paulsbrown Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Fantastic job. They were always flying low down out over the water at Myrtle Beach. For me as a kid they were great days out with a rod and a bucket of bloodworms fishing for hours on the piers with those guys flying around all day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mycapt65 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Looks great. It's my favorite jet. They are absolutely sick to watch maneuver at air shows. Mind blowing to see it turn around inside the width of the airstrip. I thought the wings were gonna break off. They were built 3 miles from were I grew up and a coworker of mine was a Fairchild field service engineer and has lots of cool stories about the plane. Love that plane and love your portrayal of it. Well done you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikT Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I love a nice Hog, and that one is beautiful! You've done a fantastic job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent K Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Very nice! just loved the Europe 1 cammo scheme and it's such a unique and great looking aircraft. Was lucky to see some a few weeks back as I headed to Vegas and Nellis to catch a week of Red Flag action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
