    Got another color question for you Steve: how should this section of the barrel assembly that peeks through the cooling vent up front be painted? It obviously gets quite dirty, but I'm wondering what the base color should be. ADC grey? Light Ghost Gray? Furthermore, I'm assuming the the interior panels in this vent are ADC gray as well?

    This is a great explanation! I found this photo of the S-3 Viking's exhaust which I believe is the same engine, seems to be the clearest pic I could find of the actual insides. I'm sure Hogs had some different colors but it's a good starting point.
  3. Lasinaatti
    That's understandable! I'll definitely have to look into getting that. These photos are exactly what I was looking for though!

    Does it have any photos of the rear of the cockpit? It's the most difficult spot to find photos of! I'd really appreciate it. I wish reference books weren't that expensive!

    That's good to know! I'm assuming this includes just the tip and the rest is black? Another photo I found where it almost looks like the tip is black as well, although that could be the lack of light.

    Does anyone have photos of the insides of the nozzles themselves? I can tell the bulbous shape is most likely gray but I'm interested in the deeper sections, but I'm unable to find any photos inside.

    that's a good tip! while I have you here I've got another question regarding that area - the kit has a rod-like piece in there: and I'm wondering if the yellow color in this photo is accurate, and if it's for the whole rod, or just the tip. Also curious about what the other circled "tube" is for.

    Great stuff! Appreciate it.

    I'm having a trouble even describing this area of the cockpit so I'll just call it a pit. I'm talking about the spot where the canopy mechanism is housed, right behind the ejection seat. I haven't found any photos of this area which I'm not surprised of but I'd love to know what color it's supposed to be - Dark Gull Gray or black? Of course, the section is gonna be filled up with the system for the canopy but some color will still show through. On my last build I painted it gray, but that was just a hunch, I think, as I wasn't able to find any photos. I'd

    Oh, the Monogram one is the one I meant! Now the completionist in me wants to get the ancient Revell one too.

    Appreciate it! From what I remember, they were one big decal, both for the side panels & the dials. Technically didn't need to cut any of them, but probably should have as they were a little misaligned. Still need to post the finished pictures! It was a very windy day which made the not-so-sturdy base swing a lot. Overall, turned out quite well. I'll see about those pictures later today!

    I'm planning on building a JAWS A-10 in 1/48th. I'm thinking of using the Monogram/Revell kit, since it seems to be a nice baseline and it's been a while since I built the Revell kit, and one did pop up in my LHS. Definitely going to ask how they got one since I haven't seen one in ages. Out of production or something? Maybe that's just Europe. Now, I know the Tamiya kit is technically the best for an early A-10, but I'm wondering how accurate their depiction of the lack of countermeasures dispensers are. If you don't have the kit, the areas are molded much more skinnier than all t

    Quick update and a little flex on what I pulled off. Basically got finished with all the decals. There was a little issue though where my reference image of 81-0988 has a word, I think "Champs," written where the crew chief's, pilot's etc. names are usually written. Don't quote me on that, but if anyone has info on what the word is, please do share. Anyways, the decals have either an empty frame with the bulldog or one full of text that isn't for my tail-number. You might notice the decal is a little cut-up and see where I'm going with this. I basica

    Fantastic work on this one. She's gonna be dirty alright! Can't wait to pick up the GWH Hog myself, they offer so many different options for the decals.

    Got the Corogard sections painted & I'm quite happy with them. The edges are obviously too big for this scale but it gets the point across! All the ordnance is done too, now everythint is just waiting for a gloss coat & decals. After that I can get down to weathering.
