Hobby Boss A-10 Thunderbolt II 1/48

[Benjamin Arendt]

I love the A10 and this one is a really nice one....

Good job..

 

[Hodges]

Looking a little bit better now.

Just a few little doodads to add and I'll be done.

 

[Junkie]

Whoa! That looks killer!

 

[Kryptosdaddy]

Thats a clean build- you gonna sling anything underneath?

 

[Hodges]

Thanks Scott!

Thats a clean build- you gonna sling anything underneath?

Yeah, I just don't know what yet...the kit came with 4 smaller sprues of armaments I'm gonna do some research and decide what I can pull off.

 

[Quaralane]

Definitely looking good

 

[Eastrock]

Looking awesome, Hodges!!

 

[Myke]

Dude that thing looks AWESOME. That perfect pre-shading really made all the difference in the finish. Great job man!

 

[JMac]

Wicked looking. Nice job Hodges.

 

[Medicman71]

Wow. Great looking Hog there Hodges. Love the weathering. Looking real nice. I have the Revell A-10 in the stash and decals for the 23rd FW from TwoBobs. Can't wait to see her all armed up and ready for a fight. Again, great work!!

 

[Hodges]

I'm all done! For now...there are no armaments on there because I really don't like what came with the kit, so I'm gonna try and find some replacement parts, but in the meantime, she's pretty much done.

Here are some pics...I'd do some beauty shots but I'm just using my phone and it's just not worth it without a proper camera.

Thanks for looking!

 

[Quaralane]

Excellent.
I kind of like the "empty rack" look there. May do something like that with my Tomcat

 

[Eastrock]

That looks great! What did you use for paint? It looks really smooth.

 

[Hodges]

Thanks, guys!

That looks great! What did you use for paint? It looks really smooth.

I used modelmasters acryl for the most part, since that's the only brand that was offering the ghost grey colours I needed at my LHS. To finish, though, I like to use Testor's anamel flat cote (in a rattle-can). It just feels so durable compared to the acrylics so I like using it to seal everything in, and it looks really good too.

[JMac]
