Wow! Great looking build! I actually thought it was larger scale. Very nice paintwork. Cheers! Alexander

Hi Steve, Thank you for the reply. I'ii try to fill the holes with droplet of CA glue. Cheers! Alexander

Why on Earth did I missed this thread?! Great job on the model. Painwork and weathering is top notch. BTW, the G.W.H. kit looks to be the most outhentic replica of the real thing. Cheers and happy modeling! Alexander

Hi Steve, Thank you for giving me a clue. Very interesting. You spaned horizont of my knowledge on the "Hog" features . BTW, those lights, are they white or yellow? Alexander

Added some dorsal stuff. Don't know what it stands for. Those little "pipes" made of syringe needle of suitable diameter. The base is a stretched sprue.

Thank you for appreciation. BTW, I thoroughly learned your A-10C build thread. The way you painted and weathered your Hog was astounded. Once I found in the Internet one of images that I then learned it was of your model, I initially confused it was of the real thing. What is your current build if any? Cheers! Alexander

Thank you for feedback , markiii. Rivets added: Will be back soon.

Hi Steve, Thank you for watching and commenting. Alexander

Hi there, Some more updates. Now into the rear end radar warning system. To make the items I used in-kit Snake Eye bombs (old school is forever). 🙂 This how it turned out: Thank you for watching.

This is a real piece of art! Absolutely amazing build. Looks like a real thing. Paintwork and weathering of top notch! Cheers and happy modeling! Alexander

Hi Steve, Nice progress so far. BTW, what this means: 'Still slowly chipping away at the ole' girl when I can find the time.' I mean 'ole' girl'. Cheers! Alexander

Hi Steve, Thank you for giving a clue.

One more update. Now that black round stuff located on the bottom of the tale. LOL. Tail, of cause. Have no idea what this stuff stands for but it doesn't matter. The thin triangular part made of aluminum thin sheet.The roundel part is of 1 mm thick plastic sheet. Also I used a Tamiya epoxy putty on it. This is how it turned out. Cheers!

Added some rivet lines. The rivets from the Quinta Studio. Other rivets have been made with the use of my "riveting tool".

The rear portion of the canopy is done. I used Tamiya extra thin cement to attach plastic strips to the canopy. This is how it turned out: The canopy interior is from the Cutting Edge cockpit set.
