Andrew Maverick Taylor Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Has anyone tried to use the Italeri 1/48 A-10 Detail Set on the Monogram 1/48 A-10 and are there any issues associated with doing that or is it better to use it on an Italeri A-10? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jefropas Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Given that the RM Hog is shaped correctly, and the Italeri one isn't, you may have your work cut out for you in many places... Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B-ONE27 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Not sure about the application for the R/M A-10, but that detail set looks just like kit supplied parts in the Italeri 2725 boxing so save yourself some extra money if your thinking the Italeri route and get the 'Blacksnakes' boxing.

Too late for that option as I've already got the R/M kit which I recently acquired for free and was just looking into options for doing any extra detail. To be honest, the more I think about it, I think I'm just going to do a 100% out of the box build for once with no PE or resin and go back to grass roots modelling by rescribing all the panel lines, and building in extra detail from scratch. I'm not an expert on the A-10, in fact know very little about it and or the versions of, but if it turns out looking as ugly as a Warthog then I'll be happy!

jefropas Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Good thing with the RM kit is you only have to scribe about 1/2 of it, because the rest is legit surface texture like all the rivets, etc... Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
