corsaircorp Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Hello Everybody, Hello !!! Still cleaning the waiting room, there are no doomed kit in CC's castle....🧹🧹 Here's a relevant proof !! Back in 1987, a young and dauntless CC started this.... Can't show the box art since the box did'nt exist any longer... I just hope that ther will not be too much parts missing.... The curse for that kit is that I bought the Verlinden book about it.... I then think that I cannot build it out of box.... Too much flaws.... I already was ambitious at the time being.... I then bought the Verlinden kit..... I never used any resin and PE parts.... Then IRL has been shaky, I moved 3 times, founded a family (for the 2nd time) When I restarted modelling, around 2003, I dismantled the A-10... Mumble about myself for buying the Verlinden kit which is good only for that.... And the poor A-10 returned to the waiting room.... I then found the subject I wanted to reproduce...🦈🦈 Bought the Eduard PE set to replace some broken parts.... A friend of mine lend me his Trumpeter kit and I did that.... The gun... the turbofan are from Quickboost, inherited from another modeller friend.... Aaaaand back to the waiting room once again.... I gave some Verlinden parts to a friend of mine who did the Italeri one.... Last year, I finished the F-84F started at the same era.... It was in the last century after all.... And since that day, everytime I open my modelling cabinet, I hear the sobbing of my poor warthog !!! I'm not a monster.... His days are back.... I was not painting too badly at the time being..... Well, let's see what I can do with all this mess..... The kit has been THE testbed of some techniques.... There will be a lot of work to repair my own goofs.... Now, since I signed up for the BM family... I will have some support... Wish me good luck, I'll need it.... Sincerely. CC 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billn53 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Getting way ahead of you on this, but are you thinking of an overall gray scheme, or one of the wraparound “lizard” camo patterns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Now this will be good CC, what a beastie of an aircraft. Looking forward to this one. I used to have a verlinden catalogue in the early 90s and used to love flicking through it. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Excellent choice, in subject, brand and beer. I have your kit's baby brother in a somewhat similar state. As well as some Chimay (albeit the blue variant). Cheers, Andre 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually drink the blue one, but since they issued the white one, which is also the triple one.... This is up to my mood of the day.... The voltage of the white is a bit higher... but not too much... Can't wait to see your Warthog in WiP !! Sincerely. CC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
