A-10 Hobby Boss European Theatre

Scale:
1:48
Status:
Completed
Started:
June 26, 2024

this hog needs no intro. To date, 1/48 aficionados have three kits to choose from: Hobby Boss, Academy and Tamiya(for those who love RAISED panel lines). And, if you are lucky, maybe the newly minted GWH kit!

The parts count for this kit is fairly low - so to make life more interesting, I’ll try (operative word) to light this puppy up so I can feel like I got my money’s worth for this kit.

Outside of some easily dealt with flash (and the frustrating GAU-10 cannon), the kit seems to go together well. But I’ll hold off on the final judgement till I finish it…

Slime lights turned out well, so I guess I’m good with calling this puppy done! If you lasted this long - THANK YOU1
