SteveL Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Hello Gents, Some may recognize this build from a few years ago when it was first completed. However, I recently had time to take some new pics using a different camera and a bit more dramatic lighting techniques. 1/48th Hasagawa Resin cockpit (sorry, can't remember who made it) Resin carrier deck (also, can't remember manufacture) Kit-bashed figures (some metal, some plastic, some both) Scratch-built tow-bar and dolly with drop tank Hope you guys enjoy!

SteveL Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 ... and a few WIP pics. I had another thread showing more in progress shots but it doesn't seem to be on here anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A-10 LOADER Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Very nice !! I like the subtle additions to the sides of the wooden base. How'd you do that ? Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Underdog Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 SteveL, There's always a fine line between aircraft and the supporting cast and equipment. Some modelers have a difficult time in getting them to balance-out. In this case, it looks like you nailed-it. I've always enjoyed the "Scooter" - and you did a super job on this one!

Thadeus Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Great Scooter. I like the paintjob. The more I look at them, the more I think the Charlie looks the best. Nose isn't as long as Echo, or short as Bravo. A-4C nose fits the lines of this jet the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
