Mikeew Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) I take it that's the Trumpeter kit?? I really like what you've done so far, looks like your "Taking my time" method is paying dividends. The paint work and panel shading looks fab :unsure: I have this kit in my stash, and your work is inspirational, many thanks for sharing. regards, Mike.

PapaSmurf630 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Seeing that really makes me want to get mine up to that stage Inspirational. I think it'll be another couple of weeks or two before I can get the undercarriage on though. The weathering is amazing, great job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GEH737 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Very, very nice... What decals did you use for the Sharkmouth? Any problems getting them to conform to the curves - I'd like to see a closer view - with more of a frontal angle if you get one. Well done George Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DenJuve Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 Thx you all. It indeed is the trumpeter beast. I used cutting edge decals. But they didn't went on as good as I hoped they would. I had a hell of a time getting the shark mouth right. The decals broke apart so I placed them as good as I could. And used humbrol paint in an attempt to hide the cracks. I will post some new pics in the coming days so you can see for yourself. Have fun, Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GEH737 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Eric, I had the same problem with my Cutting Edge decals I explain more on another thread (painted white / black - decal teeth) ended up using CAM decals for the teeth. What a pain... George Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RedIndian Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 :o ...that cockpit looks REAL! Excellent job on the weathering also! Wow, this really motivates me to finally get my hands on my long overdue project.... ;) Thanks for the nice shots! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Henk Koppelaar Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hi Eric. This is undoubtly one of the best A-10. You did already an awesome job with the cockpit. And tha painting is very well done. :lol: I'm looking forwards to see the finished model, but remember. Don't rush Regards and happy modelling Henk :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GEH737 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Very, very nice work I'm really impressed how you got the decal to conform to the compound curves - I really didn't think it could be done... Please don't take this as a criticism, I also used the upper indentation on the nose gear for the landing light and later realized it was too high - and changed it. The sway braces on the weapons pylons should be a dark metallic color - not quite so bright. Really nice work - seriously.
