1/48 Hobby Boss A-10

[Calum]

Hi guys, I've posted this at ARC so apologies if you've seen it before.

But this is one reason why I've not been around much, renos' are the other

The thing fought me all the way but I think it's my best build to date. Promise I'll build something NZ next year.. ;D

Build thread is HERE

More pics at my site HERE There's heaps because I have a new camera

Very nice finish - and good to see a realistic stores load on it too, not "everything that comes in the box!" like most people seem to do.

Also nice to see you aren't averse to some proper aircraft every so often...

One small nit pick - those tires seem a little shiny (or is that a trick of the lighting?).

I picked up the Italeri kit the other day for under $30, so will be able to build my A-10 soon-ish (when the current Kfir and Meteor are done).

Calum, that looks fantastic, mate.

You ought to be very proud of that effort.

[Dave Homewood]

Another stunning effort there Calum, excellent results mate.

Very nicely finished! Nice work.

[Calum]

Thanks Guys

Craig, re tyres, yeah they aren't flat, more of a semi gloss finish. Flat cot on them got forgetten and with all the problems I had I didn't want to risk stuffing things up at the last minute. :-)

Might get a flat coat on them one day :-)
