1/48 Academy A-10CFlying Tigers with Lights.

November 9, 2024 · in Aviation · · 8 · 204

This commission build is Academy's 1/48 A-10C “75th FS Flying Tigers” kit. The scheme is how this aircraft looked in 2014. I added Eduard photo etch detail set, Master Model brass gun, Ares resin ejection seat, and I used eight LED's and some fiber optics to illuminate the aircraft. It was mounted on a wood base with a hidden battery and switch to turn the lights off and on. You can see all the photos, a video, and details from start to finish in the build log at: https://davidsscalemodels.com/build-log/1-48-a-10c-75th-flying-tigers/
