BastianD Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 Small steps done this weekend, those small details that take time. Masked the lights at the wing tips and the fuselage, and painted them white as base first: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BastianD Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 Finalised the big gear door for the main landing gear: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BastianD Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 And glued the front landing gear together, prepped for a gloss coat, and noticed then 1 of the anomalies of this kit: Academy did not put any landing gear lights in the box 🤔 Have to find though my old sprues to find anything which matches the gear lights.

BastianD Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) And this is how the wing lights came out, a little bit of post-correcting as the blue one came out bigger than the red one. Edited April 7, 2022 by BastianD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Too bad your tape pulled off your gloss coat around the lights. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve No it’s the correction with new mat paint. But it will be covered for the whole plane in the end with matte coating, except the lights of course. So then it should be all equal again.

BastianD Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) Glued the big main rear landing door in place, after some small reshaping of the hinges: Edited April 9, 2022 by BastianD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BastianD Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 And washed the front landing gear, before and after. Now I have to find some landing lights for this thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BastianD Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 Working on the laser guided bombs. Right are the two Paveways II from the Verlinden set: are they GBU-10? Anyone recognising the two on the left? Are they also Paveways? Or others? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 The ones on the left, I believe, are GBU-16's ( 1,000 pounders ). The ones from the Verlinden set are GBU-10's ( 2,000 pounders ). Neither of these are good representations however. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
