Double Ugly Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Not a new build for me but I think it's a good one to show... Italeri's A-10A with Eduard's detail set in the cockpit and decals from the old Hasegawa kit. Painted with Gunze's acrylics. The most difficult model for me to paint...

jmel Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Beautiful Hog! It's hard to believe that's 1/72. Next time you build an A-10, you might be interested to know that the two "bugeye" antenna on the nose and the tailcone are the newer ALN-69 RHAW. That system replaced the large triangular antenna under the nose and on the bottom of the tailcone. Jet's don't have both: either one or the other. I am not aware of any kit that has this correct.

ChernayaAkula Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Wow! You did an awesome job on that Warthog! It looks simply fantastic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jefropas Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Incredible Hog! That kits is my favorite A-10 model out there, Italeri really hit the mark, except for the ACES II. Your version is sweet, great job! Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

amato1969 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Nice work! I only had a few minor problems building this kit. Your paint scheme makes me want to build another one in lizard camo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Double Ugly Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 (edited) Thanks guys... Beautiful Hog! It's hard to believe that's 1/72.Next time you build an A-10, you might be interested to know that the two "bugeye" antenna on the nose and the tailcone are the newer ALN-69 RHAW.

Jake I plan to build another Warthog in the grey scheme. I know the modifications, but Italeri does not include them in its OA-10A kit. Incredible Hog! That kits is my favorite A-10 model out there, Italeri really hit the mark, except for the ACES II. Your version is sweet, great job!Jeff The ACES II of this model is a True Detais resin... ;) Edited September 10, 2007 by Double Ugly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
