I have obtained some Chinese resins that are a copy of Blackdog. Pretty good by the way

Cockpit finished. It is not there to present to a contest but the closed booth will go and I think it is worth

I have painted the resins looking at the little graphic documentation that I have found. A wide range of grays to stand out against the black background. Curiously, the electronics are not painted in Interior Green but in black.

With a little styrene from a transparent clip we can make the lenses of the AGM 65 missiles

The first time I did a paint preshade without a primer. But a good cleaning with alcohol prior to painting is necessary to remove traces of grease.

painting process. The idea of not using a primer has not been a good one. As might be expected, paint is skipped with great ease. it will be a huge headache

We have placed the decals and panel lines and dirty. We continue working on the interiors (edges of the bays) and some other detail. We will finish it shortly

We are near the end now. Placing the weaponry and deciding if we show it in "Beast" mode, or something lighter

Final photos of the finished A-10. It has been a beautiful job in which I have given birth a lot. Too many mistakes but ok...let's move forward

It has been a challenge to cut panels to be able to integrate the resins for the avionics, riveting the entire apparatus, and trying to improve with the oils. I have gone for a very matte finish because this was a model that struggled in the desert in a particularly hostile climate.

Very good result. Funny to read your introductory comment on weathering for this heavily (and credible that is) plane. May I suggest to take a picture of your model as a teaser for the album and not the bix art anymore. Your model deserves it.

Thanks mikel For your suggest!

Album info

In this project I am going to try new challenges that I have not approached until now as a modeler. I'm going to rivet the best i can. I'm going to work with resins and I am going to paint without priming so that the riveting is not hidden by the paint....I will try to minimize the weathering too. On this small scale we abuse the weathering and credibility is lost.
