Petrov27 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 wow - that is fantastic! Do you have a build posting that describes how the finish was achieved? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f12aaa Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Sorry no wip for this build, but if you look back in the forums there are some old ones about my models. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A-10 LOADER Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Fantastic weathering job on her, she really looks awesome !! Something to consider for your next Tomcat build, that small blade antenna on the starboard side nose gear door should be sanded off. They were not present on B models. There should also be a small gray notch, at the lower LH corner of the gun blast muzzle which, often gets missed by most modelers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my favs are F`s Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 i knew that i should keep on eye this Critique Corner space... I missed this plane. It is Wonderful! One of the best Tomcats on my list. Congrats! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulão - Tchwrma Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Finally a correct tomcat wheatering! I was thinking that no one would make the wheatering like the real planes: With the lighter paint at the border of the upper panels! For sure, I would be very grateful if you could report how you got to that level of detail in the painting. It could be at least a description of the processes used. Congratulations! Cheers, Paulo.

crackerjazz Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Wow I missed this, too. I didn't know a Hobby Boss can build up that nicely. I guess it's really in the hands of the builder. Jaw-dropping paintjob/weathering. Need to get that vid, too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Once you identify and correct the issues...mainly the intake angle...the rest of th ekit is really nice. What is also needed is to shorten the main LG legs...otherwise the cat sits too high. cheers Uwe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
