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

Konrad -Cool and nice work so far Andres. Count me in here too. Roland maybe you have a cold beer and chips for this show...

Bob HallMy favorite Angel on my shoulder, had one of these save my butt more than once ! Beautiful !

AndreasThanks Holger!
Just about everything else still to do =o)
This kit is somewhat a challenge due to pretty bad fitting...
29 October 2019, 10:52
AndreasYes 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 KranichAndreas, the new kits from Italerie are good, their helicopter kits are great. The rest... 🙁 But thats only my two cents.

Martin OostromI 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

AndreasThanks 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)

AndreasThanks Martin! Yes, gunmetal, don't know if I'm to stick with it or if it should be more blackish?

Bryn CrandellBBBBBBRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTT!!! Love A-10s. Watching this one as it transforms.

AndreasFinally got the basic camouflage done.
I'm thinking about filters - grey or buff(-ish)? What do you guys think?

Bryn CrandellA 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.

AndreasThanks 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 HazuchaQuite 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
AndreasThanks 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 Goesaertpls 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
AndreasThanks 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
AndreasIt's been a while, but at least I've got some things done, but still more to do...
24 January 2020, 18:54
AndreasLong time since last update...
Finally managed to finish this one, everyday life has been busy lately. Pics in separate album. =o)
19 March 2020, 19:13
AndreasWell, 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
Patrick FoorI 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
AndreasThat'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?
