Nice box art

Resin parts for Academy but I will try some of them on Italeri too 
 

Album image #4
Italeri Decal printed by Cartograph. No more word needed regard quality.
To be honest I purchased Italeri kit for its decal 
 

Album image #5
Academy decal. Well I dont like the nose art and quality can't close to cartograph.

Quality of Italeri Ammo is higher than Academy.

I removed panel lines of A-10. I expected easier process... 
 

Album image #24
See the gaps between nose avionic and airframe. Just like the box photo... 
 

Album image #25
I realy like this product of Master. The plastic far from realism.

Album image #27
Add details to the Academy seat. Academy cockpit is basic and instrumenst are only decals. 
 

Album image #28
This part of Airwaves PE is not match to the canopy of the kit. Anybody knows whats wrong here?

Thanks mate's for Joining me 🙂
Whats your idea regard the gaps in the avionic bay and airframe? How to fill it as it should not be any gaps

Album info

I am decided to built both Academy and Italeri A-10's together.
I am using photo etched for cocpit and resin sets ( avionic, engins) of black dogs.
You can see comparison of two kits and final result!
Its first time that building two kits same time.
