A-10 LOADER

"TOMCATS FOREVER, BABY...!" Steve

Crazy fast work ! Coming together nicely Jost. Steve

Thanks Ty, the weather has been all over the place. I milled up the trim pieces for the base, these will be primed, sanded and, finished in a satin black. The dado is for the acrylic cover. Steve

Five years ago today, hopefully not much longer ? Steve

Very nice progress so far. Steve

WOW, she's looking really good ! Is the black stripe painted on or a decal ? Steve

Wow, fantastic work so far. She's gonna look like the real deal shrunk down. Steve

Lot's of nice looking work so far Jost, keep it up. Steve

Let's not forget EP-3E's, mine is gloss coated and ready for decals. Steve

Stellar work Drew !! Steve

We had two warmer days late last week which enabled me to get a start on the display base for the Gunship. I managed to get the stain applied and the first couple coats of clear sprayed on. Next step will be a sanding with 320 and more clear coats, when the weather cooperates. The taped-off areas are where the two part epoxy will go to attach my two plaques. Steve

Good start so far. Did you ever finish your AC-J Gunship? Steve

Ok gotcha, now I understand. Steve

A MC-130E and a AC-130J are two totally different animals. Just Google "MC-130E images" and compare them to "AC-130J images" and, you'll see what I mean. Also timeframe will have a lot to do with your build as well, certain antennas may have been added or removed so, pay attention to your references. Steve

Wow Jost great start, all the scratch-built items looks great ! Thanks for the shout out and the kind words. Looking forward to seeing more. Steve
