Well done on that PE canon, Anthony @anthonyricco The most famous part on the Warthog
Shouldn´t the plane be built around the gun? - just kidding, nice progress here and looks like it will be looking like it is in search of business with all those stores Anthony.
Finally getting primer and paint on - did black basing and laid down the base colours of the camp - yellow/green is a bit too yellow I think so will tone that down.

Painting is in a good way, my friend @anthonyricco! Looking forward to your progress!
Great looking to me, Anthony @anthonyricco You started off with a great base.
Thanks @spiros, having fun.
I’m not really an aircraft fan but I’ve always liked the looks of the Warthog, @anthonyricco, great work so far, especially with the etched parts.
Thanks @chinesegeorge - yeah my first time using Photo Etch, was cool - really enjoyed it but man it takes time. Glad you like the Warthog - a real beast of a plane.
Looks good! I had similar issues recently with the light green on a Euro-schemed F-4. I used the AK Real Colors paints, and think that green was just not the correct shade. Which paints did you use?
Hi Greg, I'm using Tamiya Acrylics, the colour callout wanted a 1:1 mix of XF4 - Yellow green and XF58 olive green - I added a bit more olive green to lessen the yellow at the end.
My latest build progress - paint is done and clear coated, ready for decals.

Decals and Matt coat done, wheels ready and ordnance waiting for decals.
