CaptainObvious Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Holy crap! I thought they were pics of the real thing! Very convincing and nicely photographed I really enjoyed the WIP too. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 What a fake!!!! Those are photos of a REAL A-7 in flight - and you have just photoshopped in the arm of the stand....... Seriously though - stunning build, fantastic paint job and incredible photography I'm off to take up a different hobby.... Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GW8345 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Looks so real I can smell of the leaking hydraulic fluid and JP-5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A-10 LOADER Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Like I said before, if there wasn't an acrylic rod in the shot, I'd swear it was the real deal. This is a stellar piece of work Red Dog and you should be very proud of the end result. You attention to all the details really show thru in the pics. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
onosendai Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Stunning model Red Dog......& great review of my product Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Red Dog Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) Thank you again Steve en Hooker Glad you noticed the review Maurizio :) some guys said that the antifire coating on the Mk-82s were a bit rough, i am an adept of increased détail in scale so i'm perfectly happy with the bombs and i look forward to using your work again in my future builds Edited March 1, 2018 by Red Dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it's partly true, I've been influenced by some images where it looks like that, maybe I'll do another softer or even slick version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skyhawk174 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 This is just a great display. If you photoshop out the stand we would all believe you took photos of a real A-7 I especially like the weathering on the intake. I guess we all forget that area gets dirty and should ot be pristine white. Got to remember that now after seeing yours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Red Dog Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 Thank you all gents, much appreciated I'm now working on the KA-6D that will fly in front of the A-7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gambler Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 That is the most realistic model I think that I've ever seen! Outstanding work Red Dog,..if you photoshopped the support out of the first pic, that would easily pass for the real deal. Absolutetly brilliant! Cheer's, Jeff.
