gonzalo Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The greatest compliment I can give is this.... my friend who saw this picture and has absolutely no interest in modeling or aircraft loved this build. You caught the eye of someone who couldn't care less about this hobby and commented how well you airplane looked. I being into the hobby and have a love of aircraft find your build stunning as well.

mikestomcat Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 G'day Mike, Great build and what else can be said about the paint job that hasn't already been said. Absoultly Fantastic I also love the way you haven't forgotten about paying attention to what's hanging under the wings. Mike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Thanks guys...I'm glad that you all like my model. Most of what I did on this built I learned it by watching most of you guys @ Mikestomcat, thanks I wanted to make sure that the weapons were just as good and realistic. One thing I always read is that many modeler put a load on their kits that would not happen in real life (ie; within take off weight limit of the jet). So, I asked a friend of mine who is a former hog driver and he recommended this load. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jezones Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I love this build. I probably open your thread once a day just to look at the pictures. I even bought the 1/72 version of this plane because of your work. I'm not going to copy your scheme but it did inspire me. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
POMPEO Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 great,really great job, your Warthog is superb, love it cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) Shawn, you know squadron/signal book shows a photo of an A-10 with a gun pod. Beside, its what makes you happy. So, go for it. :( Jezones, I'm glad to hear that my hog inspired you to get this kit. Its a great plane and don't worry about copying my work. It's not like I didn't copy this idea from someone else. Its been done before. So, have fun my friend. ;) Pompeo, thanks a lot for the kind comments :) Edited February 20, 2011 by Youngtiger1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skyraider Maniac Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 :( My jaw is now hurting from where it the floor when I opened the link to the thread... AMAZING JOB!!!! Most Impressive! ;) :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
let_models Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I saw your model last WE at a show, it's awesome!! :unsure: I hope you got a trophy for sure?!! let_models :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Thanks and I'm glad I was able to share it with everyone at the show. Yes, I did happen to grab a trophy for this bad boy. I took 1st place in 1/32 or Larger category. I was taken by surprise because this is my first complete model in last 10 + years and I was not even thinking about winning a trophy or anything. I was just happen to be able to complete a model. I guess, it is true when they say...good things come to those who wait. Thanks a lot for the wonderful comments. :) Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

richter111 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Spectacular build. I love the finish, the paint job is superb, the colors are not monotone, but seem very realistic, I would love to see what you could do to a black finished aircraft. Come to think of it, I would love to see your A-10 painted witht eh F-16 Artic Agressor look, that would be a sight to behold! Again, your work is astonishing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
