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.

You started off with a great base.

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?
Anthony Ricco said 2 years, 3 months ago:

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.

Spiros Pendedekas said 2 years, 3 months ago:

Looking really great, my friend @anthonyricco!
I love the lizzard scheme on the Thunderbolt!
