Academy 1/48 A-10C
The most trouble free aircraft model I've ever put together, I can't sing praise enough. The only AM are the seabelts, and I tossed in a few bombs I had lying about spare.
Painted in Tammy Sea Grey and Dark Sea Grey with a black Flory's wash then sealed with some of the last of my Model Master Acrylic Clear Flat, there's really not much more to say about it than the first line.
That turned out real good.
What is this? If someone posts a 1/32 Su-25 and/or USS Gambier Bay article then I'm going to wonder if my shelf of doom builds are coming to haunt me!
Thank you sir
I got a few of those meself
That’s perfect! Great details all the way around.
Thanks it's a fabulous kit
That's a cool looking Tankbuster you've built there Mark (@markh). Love the cockpit detail. Is that out of the box?
Good work. What's next? 🙂
Thanks and yes, except for the seat belts, 100% oob. Next is a Hasegawa 1/48 AV8 B Harrier II, the old kit. Working on it now, not as friendly as this one
Very nice paint work and finishing on this Warthog. @markh
Thank you sir Flory's wash is one of my best discoveries
Excellent job, Mark!
Congratulations!
Thank you brother
Great job! Academy kits are inconsistent, so I'm glad to read that this one was easy.
Thanks I've found Academy has come a long way in the past few years, most anything from them that's a newer tooling is very good to excellent
Great looking Warthog, Mark @markh
The detailing and painting are really spot on.
Thanks brother I had a very good kit supplied paint guide that helped me out alot
An easy A-10 nice to know after the wrestling match with the Monogram A-10, still in progress. Regardless had my eye on this kit when I heard it was coming out. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
And thank you sir, and a pleasure to share. Awhile back I tangled with the Revell offering and it was nasty after nasty with no end to nasty in sight; I got tired of fighting with it and it went into the garbage bucket. Life's too short to struggle with nasty model kits
A beauty...of a Beast chap. Looks nice and purposeful.
I have the old Tamiya one in my stash...might take some swearing🤣❤️
Thank you sir. I've heard the Tammy kit is one of the better ones but I could not prove it
Nicely done, Mark! Like the grays.
Thanks there's something appealing about grey airplanes
Looks like you’ve found the best kit for this classic aircraft.
Indeed I have
That’s sharp! Well painted and finished.
Thank you sir
fabulous build, you nailed this one. Well done!
Thank you sir
One great-looking tank-killer! Love the scheme on that one.
Thank you sir the scheme is one worn by some A-10's in Afghanistan arond 2014
I love the paint scheme! Amazing work!
Thank you sir it was a fun build
High praise for Academy; good for them and well done to you.
A beautiful building, very nice indeed.
Awesome job Mark. I'm actually working on the same kit right now. I hope I can get the same results!
Thanks gents
D take your time, I'm sure you will
