1/48 Hobby Boss: A-10 Thunderbolt II





Thought I would try a 1/48 scale aircraft so I chose one of my favourites - the A-10. This kit is in the 2 seater experimental design, which never actually entered service. Was supposed to be in an aircraft grey colour, but I wasn't confident at weathering a single colour so chose a 3 colour camouflage design.

This kit was OK to build. less fiddly bits with the larger scale, but required several areas of filling and sanding. Painting was fun, sprayed one green colour then covered in play dough to get the camouflage design and repeated twice.

I wont be attempting this scale again soon as it takes an age and there is so much detail to do.

Not the best model I have done, but it is OK.
