Nils Steyaertok, im calling this project done, although i ran into a big problem on the final stretch.
the matt coating i applied at the end really smudged up the canopy, in the last picture, you can see that im trying to fix it with a few layers of Humbrol Clear.

Christopher MullinsBeen taking some pictures as I have been working on it, it is almost together and just posting now because of work. Got to do the seat and paint on the third camo color, but Im not sure if I should use NATO Green or Medium Green. The olive (ANA 613) I used is a bit darker than it should be because I ran out of the other olive green, so I was think about going darker with the NATO Green as well. The grey I used is Revell 77 Staubgrau.

Ron GarciaFinished Hobby Boss' A-10 after building two Tamiya A-10 kits that sat in my stash forever. Better detail since the molds aren't ancient like Tamiya's. Recessed panel lines, closed off nose landing gear bay, and way better stores to name a few improvements make this easily the better choice of the two. This kit fits together well, but if I build another, I might run a strip of styrene down the inside of the bottom fuselage half. The seam is long and though I got the top to align with no problem, the bottom was slightly off. Helped by a low parts count and no PE, it was a pretty easy build. Like I said about the Tamiya kit, it may not be a perfect replica of an A-10, but it looks like one to me - and that's good enough.
Michael HickeyGood t hear you had fun with this Hog, I've got this kit in my stash as well and the tip about the styrene strip on the underside is most helpful, thanks for that. I was going to build mine with the snake had on the nose but that's a "C" variant and the HobbyBoss kit I believe is an "A" variant, so I might to her in experimental camo scheme. Do have any pics?
11. October 2018, 03:20
Ron GarciaNo, but I might get around to it since you asked. Yeah, because the bottom is so flat with tons of recessed detail, having a slightly misaligned fuselage on the bottom was hard to correct. I wasn't 100% successful, but since no one is ever going to pick it up, I can live with it. Have fun with your build. I'm knocking out all my A aircraft in my stash so onto an A-1, A-3, and an A-4 and then I'm done.
12. October 2018, 01:07
Michael HickeyCool, yeah don't be shy gives a look at her, I know when I build a model I don't have enough fingers to count for all the mistakes I make on them, I just try to hide them. Since I build now for me and not commission I'm just trying to pump them out a bit quicker than I used to. Also helps knowing I don't have any intention anymore in going into comps. At the moment I'm trying to reduce my Phantom II stash, I think last count there were at least 25 to 35 of them all in 1/48 and all Hasegawa or Academy. Just about got my Greek F-4 done.
12. October 2018, 01:57
Ron GarciaUsed these decal on a Hobby Boss A-10 I built. I must have gotten it for the peanut scheme long ago. The decals are nice and very thin. Trying to find matching paint was difficult. No paint manufacturer makes one of the shades and the other two were made by a company I don't use. I went for the eyeball test and used colors that seemed really close. One complaint is that the instructions only show the top, bottom, and left side view. Why they didn't show the right side is downright strange. I used the profile from the Hobby Boss kit, but the two camouflage patterns don't match up. I had to use some artistic license to make it work. Good decals for an unusual paint scheme.
Michael HickeyI've got a couple of decal sheets from Two Bobs on the A-10 but the one I'll be doing first more than likely is an experiment scheme that is on a decal sheet by Print Scale. Basically two tone brown and a third green color.

Ron GarciaUsed these on my recently completed Tamiya A-10. A few split when I tried applying them. Probably due to age. Nice set but the nose art could be a bit clearer. I think there is a more up-to-date set on the market now. This set gives you enough decals for two A-10s. I used Cleared Hot. I don't think there will be nose art like this in the US anymore. I'm curious how the Maryland ANG got away with it in the first place. Worth it for representing an unusual slice of history.
Ron GarciaJust finished this kit. Having built the 1977 version before it, I didn't notice any changes other than the decals - and I didn't even use them! There are several issues, but for me the main problems are the nose wheel well (open in the front and top) the antiquated pylons, and raised panel lines. But, like I said about the earlier version, it looks like an A-10 to me. Plus, I'm down one more kit in my stash! Will build Hobby Boss' A-10 next and I think I'll be done with A-10s probably forever. This dated kit really needs to be retired. Easy to build but not recommended - not even close to state of the art anymore.

Ron Garcia completed this item
Ron GarciaHad this model in my stash FOREVER. Definitely not state of the art. Raised panel lines, ECM pods attached to the pylons, decals for the instrument panels, etc. The worst offense is that the top and one side of the nose wheel well is open. I have no idea why they did this. I used some styrene to block it off. Good thing I did so because it required a TON of weight to get the plane to sit on its wheels. I believe this model is based on the prototype so I painted mine as Preproduction Aircraft 1. Used the kit supplied stores. They look OK. I've read that this model isn't very accurate, but it looks like an A-10 to me. I have another one in my stash that I'm going to complete, but having said that, I don't recommend this kit. It's just too old and should be retired.
