Sebastijan Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I'll be building a jet, that was hit over Kosovo and had to make emergency landing in Skopje, Macedonia. I'll be using: Revell 1:72 A-10A Balkan Models decals (hope they'll be released in time) Eduard PE set Northstar models AGM-65 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobus Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Oh dear... First the Out of Africa GB pops up now this one on the same day? :blink: I have the Trumpeter 1/32 A-10 N/AW that I did some preliminary work on that I can use for this GB. Got the Verlinden cockpit set for it as well. Barring time constraints, count me in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I'm going to try to do a Rev/Mon. Years ago when I was a teenager I built the kit with the Verlinden set. I plan to retry this build. I've got the kit and thought I had the Verlinden set but I opened it yesterday and its not all there. So ill probably buy another one unless someone has a parts set they don't need. I need the electronics parts I have the cockpit stuff. Anyway I also have the DRA rail. My question is what other aftermarket is out there? I know there's a company that makes better engines and closed decelerons but I can't remember who that was. I may just go with the steel beach covered engines anyway since this will be an open panels build. Also I have no idea on markings so any ideas or thoughts? I like obscure and weird. I've already got a desert storm euro 1 hog built also. I know that limits options but maybe someone knows something. Help me warthog officianados, you're my only hope.

mungo1974 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hammm, for unusual Hogs your choices are kinda limited. Euro scheme,current grey,early production MASK-10 schemes,JAWS,Snow Hog,Peanut,Flipper and the Overall Gunship Grey 2 seater prototype. Always liked those Alaskan Snow Hog myself.

mungo1974 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Guys.....what's the groups rules on kits started prior to the GB start date. I've have acouple of Hogs that i would like to finish off. One is a Hobbyboss kit i started for a GB on another forum. The wings are together, the cockpit has been painted and work has been started on the engine pods....would this be allowed. The second kit (Hobbyboss again)was picked up cheap off Ebay. Only afew minor parts were glued/painted Aires cockpit and weapons mainly. Would they be allowed to enter,neither kit is no more than 25% complete IMHO. Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ooh I like the sound of a snow hog. Now to hunt decals. I've got peanut decals for my 1/32 A-10 but I'm not ready to build that one yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benner Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I'll be building the Hobbyboss 1:48 kit, haven't decided what squadron yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Another Hobbyboss A-10, Spangdahlem markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscusn Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Though the Grumman GB also started yesterday as well, I will do a Revelogram A-10, using the Shull engine and closed deceleron's been wanting to use this set. Will use the Legends cockpit set as well. Will build this as an OIF or Enduring Freedom bird, just need to find decals, otherwise I have almost everything else to get started. Also will build a Tamiya A-10 as a Desert Storm Euro 1 scheme, have the the DRA launch rails for both kits, will modify and use the TD cockpit set. Will be looking for the Shull Laste update set for the Monogram kit in the meantime as well. Both kits in 48th scale. Chuck Fly Navy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdt13 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Hammm, for unusual Hogs your choices are kinda limited. Euro scheme,current grey,early production MASK-10 schemes,JAWS,Snow Hog,Peanut,Flipper and the Overall Gunship Grey 2 seater prototype. Always liked those Alaskan Snow Hog myself. I've counted at least 26 different schemes the Hog has worn in it's career, if you include all the variations in patterns as well as colors. Only a few made it to operational use. The prototype and pre-production era was the most diverse, for a time it seems no two A-10s were the same color and pattern. Fortunately it's not hard to get markings for each, or cobble them together from existing sheets. I'll be happy to put down a list if anyone is interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bdt13 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'd be more than happy to put the list to seperate reference thread of this GB. OK, set up the thread and I'll begin posting. I have a strange ambition to make a model of at least one of each of these schemes. So far I have only completed a single example; I'll be happy to post pics of it when the reference thread goes up.

mawz Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I'll be building the Academy A-10A in 1/72 OOB. May tweak the weapons loadouts at the end though, I'm pretty sure the loadout in the box is somewhat inaccurate. Markinsg will likely be the DS bird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I have two hogs I'd love to build in this group build, however I'm away at work pretty much all the time until end of October, early November, so unsure how much I can actually get done!! Sucks tho! What I'd like to to do is this Italeri A-10 with blackbox cockpit, SHULL LASTE upgrade and whatever decals are in the stash Revell A-10 with Peanut or Flipper camo, closed decelerons and some use of Verlinden set. However, may not even have time to start either one... Cheers H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Since I'm finishing up 2 of the 4 Phantoms on the bench I started thinking about what Hog to build. I have a 1/72 A-10A by Acadamy and a bunch of MicroScale decals. I came across a picture of this one. 780675 of the 354th TFW, 353 TFS It had 58 missions in Operation Desert Storm.

Johnopfor Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'm joining in with the Italeri A-10A in 1/72 scale OOB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Going to build a revel A-10 in 1/72 also. Not sure which markings but its going to be a gray camo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Cooper Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Is nobody building an old Euro 1 scheme Woodbridge/Bentwaters A-10??? Come on! Edited January 6, 2014 by Ian Cooper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 If I had the decals, I would have done it. Someone needs to do a new sheet, either 1/72 or 1/48, or both... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Cooper Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 If I had the decals, I would have done it. Someone needs to do a new sheet, either 1/72 or 1/48, or both... I built one a few years ago (1/48) and may have some spare decals in the box. Too late now, I guess! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OneTinSoldier Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) is it too late to join this? I am working a 1/48 Monogram Hog right now complete with every aftermarket i can find. haha edited: disregard. Edited January 21, 2014 by OneTinSoldier Quote Link to post Share on other sites
