Shaun Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) Here is the 1/48th Hobby Boss A-10A kit with a lot of extra work. The build can be found in the "In progess" section. The Aires cockpit set was added, the wheels are borrowed from the Italeri kit. A fair bit of scratch build and corrected items were also added. Paint was Extracrylics and decals by Afterburner. Sorry for the number of pics, but I quite enjoyed photographing this model A very enjoyable project, even though it fought back a few times and I abandoned it a few times we got there in the end.

keefr22 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Not a great fan of the 'hog, but that is a stonking model!! Really nice job Shaun, excellent stuff!! Keef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookedmouth Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Gods that's nice! This piccie looks like it was taken on the pan at an airfield in Nevada. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westie7 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 What a cracker! The temptation with a hog is to hang too much off it, this is just right. The most realistic configuration I've seen in a long time. Rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) Well thanks for the replys!, the model seems well recived Today the sun is out here with some great cloud formations, so I'm going to find a natural background and get some more low angle shots. Check back later to see what I got? Shaun. Edited February 19, 2010 by Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 If there's an example of modelling that's it - a scaled down version of the real thing. Well done. Steve. I want one of these now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goon Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Can't do anything else but echo everyone else's praise. That's the sort of build that inspires me to work much harder and improve my skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troffa Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Likewise, I can only add to the chorus of approval, stunning build and a superb finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
