So I've put the wings together, with the movable flaps, as well as the nacelles of the GTResin engine parts, which are now painted up, using MRP Paints for the gray and AK Extreme Metal for the fan blades, which has really come up well.
#A 10a cockpit how to#
Very impressed with the turned brass gun tip, and a big thanks to Clint who helped with some ideas on how to put it all together, it came out well in the end, considering I superglued it, then took it apart and burnt all the glue off, then repeated this process a few times until I got it right. The mix was Jet Exhaust, Burnt Metal and Gun Metal, which I think turned out pretty well.
I used AK Xtreme Metal flat aluminum for the inside part of the drum, and used a mix of 3 AK Xtreme Metal paints for everything else.
I will not be using the Vallejo Model Air metallics ever again, they just don't work for me as a paint for praying as they are thick and lumpy, even after giving the bottle a damn good shake up. I've also sprayed the ammo with Vallejo ModelAir brass, ON THE SPRUE, and added the little bullet tips in a dark blue colour, a custom mix of Tamiya paints. Here I have primed most parts of the big gun system with the AK Xtreme Metal Primer, added the normal weight inside the drum, and started with the cockpit and seat. I will be doing a lot of copying from my build thread on Flory Models, but you should get the jist of it. Progress shots will come soon once I get started with this "beast". Normally, thin decals is a good thing, but not when they start breaking before you get them on your model.Īnyway, here are the all important box and sprue shots, we've seen them all before. To be honest, I'm not sure if the decals were just very old, as they were sent to me as a gift from someone, or if they just are like this, but I found them very difficult to work with as they were very fragile and thin. I'll be doing the gray Ghost Scheme of the later A-10A's, so I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a set of TwoBobs decals for the later grey schemes. I also used the GT Resin engine parts for the A-10, and what a difference they make to the overall appearance of this kit.The kit fan blades for example are dreadful to say the least, and due to the big engines being where they are on the A-10, you really need to make them a focul point as far as I'm concerned. My build will consist of the main kit parts, with the Eduard colour photo etch instruments and Master GAU-8 Avenger gun tip and pitot tube. I will also post up some completed photos in the Ready For Inspection area once complete. This build of a 1/32 A-10 was actually recently completed as part of a group build for Flory Models, however after a request from geedubelyer, I am posting up my in progress shots here.

Accurately scaled and incredibly detailed, these full colour sets with provide instantaneous improvement down to the clear gloss instrument panel bezels and instrument data far too small for even the most skilled hand to paint.This is my first topic and post in this forum, so please bear with me. The constantly expanding range of Kits World 3-D Detail Decals provides the simple solution to cockpit enhancement. You can forget about difficult to deal with threading harnesses through microscopic photo-etched buckles and clasps or paint flaking off colour etched parts whilst attempting to form them to seats. Dealing with the cutting, harmful dust and shaving of resin parts is history. The painstaking process of painting tiny and intricate detail onto cockpit components such as instrument panels, side consoles is a thing of the past. This exciting new modelling technology brings together the ease of application decals offer with the incredibly precise and accurate detail of the micro printing process.
