1/48 Monogram A-10A Thunderbolt II

Hi 👋

 

A few pics of my 1/48 Monogram A-10A Thundersbolt II. I got this kit a few years ago from a childhood friend.
 

I am still impressed how good the Monogram kits are, the details are really nice.

 

 

A Warthog more or less OOB. Just added a ResKit pylon, som weapons from the spare box, a Master pitot, a pilot from Def.Model and Print Scale decals.

 

 

Thanks for looking 😀

 

Cheers!

Very nice, what an animal of an Aircraft the Warthog is, used to see them a lot in the skys around here about 15 years ago, great model, pleasure to see.

Thanks!
 

I’d loved to see that. Only seen it live once, long time ago in Bosnia. No Brrrt, but a low pass though.

Say what you want, but the A-10 has one thing that a lot of other modern planes lack, and that is Presence! 

 

Your model of the good old Monogram kit also has the quality - well done indeed! 

 

Thanks for sharing! 

 

Cheers

Awesome A10, I used to love watching these in the sky's over Suffolk quite a few years ago, when we would stay with friends or went to Centreparcs.

Fantastic sight.

Great work on this one

Lovely work, I’ve got this one in the stash, hope it turns out as well as yours

Thanks for all the kind words! There’s something about the A-10 that just catches the imagination, guess a bit of Brrrrt has something to do with it!
 

As I mentioned I’m still impressed with the details in the Monogram kits. There might be a fit issue here and there, but still, they are pretty good. The raised panels fit some kits better than others, and they do keep you focused while sanding 😇

 

When it comes to painting I very much prefer the camo ones over the grey, but that’s a personal thing.
