Hornet78 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) Plastic models don't fly. It least not mine. AAA Yes , but the real things that they represent do and thew A-10 is real no matter if it's an IAF or USAF I'm beginning to realize I was wrong to ask about this so "You go boy" were all looking forward to seeing the finished product especially with that IAF camo.

regevmo Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Thanks. Anyone know how to say Pork, Pig or Hog in Hebrew? Its called chazir or hazir. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FAR148 Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 Its called chazir or hazir. IAF A-10I "Chazir" How would you pronounce that? Thanks, Steven L Quote Link to post Share on other sites
regevmo Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 IAF A-10I "Chazir" How would you pronounce that? Thanks, Steven L A little correction, the A-10 is nicknamed 'WARTHOG" which is kind of a wild pig so in hebrew the name is "CHAZIR YABALOT", you say it like you write it (CHA-ZIR YA-BA-LOT).

Hornet78 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 What would the Hebrew translation bew for sandhog? Thanks Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
regevmo Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 What would the Hebrew translation bew for sandhog?Thanks Jim hi jim, Is this some kind of pig\hog because the only hebrew traslation is something else (A worker that works under the ground). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FAR148 Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 So Chazir is pig and Chazir yabalot is wild pig ? If so, I will just go with Chazir. Steven L Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chappie Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 So Chazir is pig and Chazir yabalot is wild pig ? If so, I will just go with Chazir. Steven L Very cool. What's Hebrew for "HAWG!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hornet78 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 hi jim,Is this some kind of pig\hog because the only hebrew traslation is something else (A worker that works under the ground). Well maybe I should ask what is the word for Sand since we allready have Chazir for hog. Combine the two and Wala you would have a Hebrew "Sand hog" Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FAR148 Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Been working on the belly of my Chazir. As we all know the Monogram kit has raised panel lines and when you glue the two halves of the fuselage together then sand the seam you lose a lot of detail. So I did some panel line scribing this past weekend. Did most of my scribing with the back edge of a no# 11 blade. I messed up on a few few line but no worries, filled them with super glues, a little sanding and retry. Some panels would harder than others. After the scribe work was done, I gave the new lines a wash in water-based ink for a look-see. My new panel lines are not are not 100% accurate, just for detail as well as for fun. :D I replace the kits antenna with a piece is brass rod and use a pair of needle nose to bend it into shape. I then marked off the location and drill two hole for the antenna, then super glued it into place. On to the tail, I updated the two radar altimeters on the horizontal stabilizers with two resin domes. As well as added a circular antenna made from styrene rod. I have been wanting to double up the chaff/flare boxes under the wingtips but was not sure how I was going to do it. After a little pondering... <_< I started off with a stripe of styrene cut the same length of the kit C/F box. I then bent one end down to match the same angle of the kits box. I then super glued it to the side of the kit box. With my favorite putty, (super glue & baby powder) I back filled the space under the strip of styrene. I then filed, sanded, putty, sanded the new box into shape.I scribed a few new panel lines, shot a coat of primer and gave the new lines a wash in water-based ink, looks pretty good. Still got a few things to fix, all-in-all I'm happy with it. Steven L Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quiddy Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) Looks great Steven. I think your panel lines are .00000002 mm too deep. Redo them!! :D Keep up the great work. The chaff boxes blend right in. Keep going. Wayne <_< Edited December 12, 2007 by Quiddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

imatt88 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 This a great build! I did an Israeli A-10 years ago, and it turned out like crap.

Thanks Guys :D She's a long way from the paint shop. Last update until next year. On the second day of Christmas, General Electric gave to me, Two new TF35-GE-100 Turbofan engines! One is almost ready to install and the other... I still got to make. As you can see, the new engine is larger than the old TF34 and provides more thrust. Merry Christmas everybody and have a Happy New Year! :) Steven L Quote Link to post Share on other sites
