A-10 LOADER Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Since the Gray sprayed much nicer than the green, I decided to go back and tighten up the pattern to make it more to scale. I wasn't sure if it was a good idea or not but, now that's it's all done, I think it looks much better. My hands were not as shaky as yesterday and that really helped. Finished up the landing gear doors and the horizontal stabs also. Gloss coat up next. Steve Edited February 15, 2023 by A-10 LOADER Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A-10 LOADER Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 Had a productive day yesterday and got all the A-7's decals on that I could do. I'm just waiting on the "LV" tailcode and serial number, for the tail and, she'll be finished. A good friend of mine is helping me with those specific markings.

A-10 LOADER Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Since I'm waiting on my decals I decided to work on the canopy framing. I added the mirrors and made a grab handle. These items are very noticeable when the canopy is raised. Some masking and some paint and this will be ready to attach to the canopy when the time comes.

A-10 LOADER Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 Just finished up the decals thanks to my friend Dave Aungst. He made the tailcode and serial number for me. I wanted to build the exact jet that visited our local base back in the day, the former Willow Grove NAS. Once these are dry I'll give her another coat of gloss to seal everything in.

vonjhn68 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Excellent work! A-7s are great examples of aircraft that are ugly and beautiful at the same time. Cheers, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
