Very nice start, seems to me ital is better then my hobby boss(((

Oleg: this kit has pretty much mis-alignments and quite poor fit overall. I sure hope HB is better than this...

Welcome Roland! =o)

You are not alone, Bob! Nice build so far Andreas!

Andreas
Thanks Bob! Nice to hear some firsthand experience of these!

Andreas
Thanks Holger!
Just about everything else still to do =o)
This kit is somewhat a challenge due to pretty bad fitting...

Holger Kranich
Typical early Italerie plane kit.😉
29 October 2019, 12:48
Andreas
Yes Holger, that's painfully obvious to me =o)
How about newer Italeri kits? Same issues? I'm about to ban Italeri from ever coming close to my stash...

Holger Kranich
Andreas, the new kits from Italerie are good, their helicopter kits are great. The rest... 🙁 But thats only my two cents.

I have banned Italeri kits (with the exception of trucks). That includes Tamiya reboxings. On the box: "Plastic made in Italy". I never had a good feel with them. Could be me, true. I spoke to a guy at last SMC, he suggested to ritually burn and bury them. I agree

Watching !

Thanks Roland and Hans! That 1/48 A-10 caught my attention...and since I have a really bad case of AMS, it looks like I can have my cravings satisfied also =o)

Welcome Oleg!

Nice paintwork Andreas. Gunmetal for the gatling gun?
20 November 2019, 16:09
Andreas
Thanks Martin! Yes, gunmetal, don't know if I'm to stick with it or if it should be more blackish?

Bryn Crandell
BBBBBBRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTT!!! Love A-10s. Watching this one as it transforms.
20 November 2019, 18:20
Andreas
Finally got the basic camouflage done.
I'm thinking about filters - grey or buff(-ish)? What do you guys think?

Bryn Crandell
A combination of both may work. Being that its in the multi camo buff would accent it nicely. During Desert Shield/Storm, the sand beat these birds up pretty good and so it was a tan appearance along with the general grime.
12 December 2019, 12:26
Andreas
Thanks Bryn, that was my thinking too, just the desert environment itself would be aggressive on the aircraft. I'll start with buff I think, just have to get clear cote and decals on first.

Slavo Hazucha
Quite an excellent job on so many tiny details in 72scale! Did not think it's 72 until I checked, great work 👍
15 December 2019, 11:14
Andreas
Thanks Slavo! It's been challenging and I'm developing an allergy towards both 1/72 and Italeri on the way.
15 December 2019, 23:23
Bart Goesaert
pls don't put all 1/72 kits on the Italeri heap.. some manufacturers do make descent models, even in 1/72... Nice paintjob by the way 😉
17 December 2019, 09:56
Andreas
Thanks Bart! Just thinking 1/72 isn't for me, I like it larger, less need for magnifying glass and such =o)
20 December 2019, 17:32
Andreas
It's been a while, but at least I've got some things done, but still more to do...
24 January 2020, 18:54
Stefan Schacht
very nice so far, I take a seat.

Long time since last update...
Finally managed to finish this one, everyday life has been busy lately. Pics in separate album. =o)

1/72 = Shelf Space
19 March 2020, 19:26
Andreas
Well, that's true Patric, but I'm willing to trade of that space =o)

1/72 isn't for me...(and neither is Italeri). I'll stick with 1/48 for things with wings...
19 March 2020, 19:35
Dave Flitton
It's still a good build!
19 March 2020, 21:23
Patrick Foor
I agree with you on Italeri. I have not built many planes...none in 25 years just tanks, but thinking of trying my hand at planes again. Even ordered a 1/48 tank to display next to a 1/48 plane.
21 March 2020, 04:28
Andreas
Thanks Dave! =o)
21 March 2020, 08:32
Andreas
That's nice Patrick, haven't explored the 1/48 scale range of vehicles that much, the little I've seen has mostly been WWII era but maybe there's modern vehicles also?

Nice work Andreas!
