A-10A Thunderbolt II - 1:48 Revell

[Guest]

i think im just gonna bite the bullet here as its the only LHS i have - i did a dry fit of the cockpit last night and think it is do-able

[Guest]

i did it - i modded my brand new model to accomodate the resin cockpit. Not going to post any pics until i have it looking nice again - its a bit ugly at the moment!

Well done Mike! Good to see you managed it & hopefully we'll see the pictures once you've tidied it up.

Cheers

Looks very good already Mike. A bit more clean up & once it's painted, it'll look like it was made for that kit.

this is a really 'filler hungry' kit so far but loving it and my filler technique is just getting better!

It's all about the practice Mike! It's starting to really look like a Hog now!

I remember the first time I saw one of these ugly brute, The noise was like a f**t but the damage it made was scary, The whole plane virtually stopped in the air , Good job there on our side the flame outta the barrels light up the night sky.

Gonna build one one day.

Nice build

Only just read this thread through ......

Somes trials and tribulations there i must say ..... at the end of the day you've certainly pulled it out the bag mate.

Top marks for your persistence, looks like it'll pay off

I echo all the above comments Mike. The one good thing that comes out of a build like this is that having put so much into it you will get so much more satisfaction when your looking at your completed plane.
