I got out my Trumpeter kit decals and they have the ALQ-119 decals, the only thing I would have to do is find scale dry transfer letters and number to replace the 119 label with 184. Some times it is a lot simpler than first thought.

Thanks for the info. I had found the hobby decal but not the archer site. I kind of thought about the dry transfer method for numbers. I used some for a non model related project like twenty years ago. Will an inkjet printer work on a decal sheet for something like this?

Here is a link to my photobucket that has a picture of my full resin kit. Visit My Photobucket

I did search on Bing and found that exact image and when I tried to view it, I got a pop-up about my computer having viruses and it was doing a fake scan. Typical spyware stuff. But I didn't get the pic in the end. That would be the version ECM I have. I totally forgot Google. It used to be my homepage till some of the options I didn't like became fixed items with no user control in the preferences. I could probably get enough pics to get decal locations if I can hunt down the decals I need. Thanks for the link to that picture.

Hi, I had a mix-up on ebay on seller's behalf. He more than squared the deal and, in addition, he sent me an AN/ALQ-184 ECM pod. It is three cylinders deep without the rectangular box on the lower rear. I am not sure if I should worry about the rectangle piece that I suspect is the tow behind countermeasure. I am new to aircraft. I am attempting a what if two seater Trumpeter A-10A N/AW 1/32. I am intending to do up to date mods. My concern for this pod is that I have no decals or info on their locations. Most I've found out so far is that the Academy 1/32 F16CG/CJ Fighting Falcon decals

Don't know how to start a thread and am a little intimidated as a newbie. Just gonna go for it and learn on the fly on this build and do the best I can. I am assuming that this thread would need be only for the engine build. Any further parts of overall build can be done in the finished build article. If you can make a thread out of this engine build, then be my guest. I am planniing on leaving the clear parts clear in the areas needed to showcase the engines, while painting the exhaust pipe/cone outer fairing where it shows at the rear of the nacelle. Also painting fan rotor along with fan ho

I am hoping to find a cheap digital camera soon but funds are tight. These scans are all I can provide for now. Glad they are good enuff for now. I have the second engine stripped and re-working the detail. Am sort of limited to pain in neck from looking down so much. I had a spinal cord stimulator implanted at the cervical level on March 26th and looking down is the most pulling position at the surgery site. Gotten better last few days. Can get about 4 hours work total in a day. Lot of size specific pieces of wood sanding sticks made along with metal files and dremel tool diamond coated metal

Hi All, Just posting a couple of scans to show the kit engines stripped of all incorrect "lumpology". Re-detailed underlying plastic and left three items that were somewhat close and would help provide scale as a starting point. This is one engine stripped so far. I will attempt to create a more realistic looking engine appropriate to the A-10 for my kit. Jerry View 1 View 2 View 3

Berkut Sorry for quoting the many pictures. I am new to using forums as a means of communicating. I just deleted your message from this reply to test the "no quoting unnecessary pictures" request. So if your request is not here again, than I have figured that out and will be more courteous in the future. Thank you for the heads up on forum ettiquette. Always welcome to constructive criticism. Iwent back and removed the "many quoted pictures" that Berkut referred to and am just letting everyone know that now so you know Berkut had a legitimate request at the time of his post. Thanks agin, Berk

OutStanding! You have definately outdid yourself and anything I have been able to find on the net on my own. Anything I attempted to search under was 3 times around the globe from getting this close to in detail. You are the man! This explains a lot about the lumpology of this kit's resin engine. Armed with this much detail info and other pics I have uncovered from different angles of approach, I have a hard time believing I can retain the lumpology mentality for building these engines. I am pretty darned good with a dremel tool and have a great eye for detail. I am just so dedicated to the A-

I edited the first photos I posted with labels of what I believe to be as you have described. You will have to check out my work and see how I am doing and correct me on any mistakes I may have made. Here are Scans I took of the kit engine to give you a little insight as to what I'm looking at on the kit engine. I think I'm understanding things as they are on the real engine but we'll need a way of correlating to the kit and this may help. I will be offline for a few days to redo our cable and internet to get a better deal for the next coming year. So check out the scans and the photo edits.

I am new to this so what is an ADD modeler?

My problem exist in the fact that I have no idea of the nature of the blob components, which leaves me without a clue as to what red lines go to what (origin-destination), same for metal lines, wires, metal tubing, etc. I have no jet engine knowledge but I understood all that you wrote. In the kit, the bird cage, stub pylon inner nacelle doors and the exhaust cone outer fairing is all one clear plastic housing that encases the resin engine. So, in order to show engine the area where you want to show the detail is either left clear or you have to cut the inner nacelle doors out of the whole out

I have some pictures of it from other articles. Will post as soon as I check out the forum FAQ area to learn how to post a pic. And here we go... That went well. Now this is the General Electric TF34-GE-100 it is supposed to represent. I realize some of the parts that are in the resin pics are not in the engine photos and vice-versa. Concern is that components that surround the compressor and combustor areas just don't jive with each other.

I have the Trumpeter 1/32 A-10A N/AW #02215 series 15 kit. The resin engine mold provided is not the TF-34-GE-100 as required. This is my first aircraft model and quite the undertaking as a noob. So I do not know the first thing about aircraft engine components and their possible colors. I have plenty of great pics of a TF-34-100 which do me no good when the kit engines are not even close in routing of component piping, wiring, component placement,etc. I would like to have an ID on what this is so I can paint and further detail according to the engine this mold truly represents. At least it wo
