A-10A AF80-0209 23rd TFS England
Never tried using the IP Decal...Now I know why, just doesn't looks right. Well, I'll leave it for this build.
dry fit test #1
Dry Fit test #1 alternative angle
Some parts primed and base painted
First fitment of nose weights, 30grams for now.
Simple detailing of nosewheelbay and Landing gear
Pinwashing using AK Interactive and Winsor&Newtons oil paints
Pinwashing completed, and sealed
rear cockpit panel glossed and dust effects added using oil paints
Dryfit test #2 weights added to 50grams
Wings fixed and gaps filled. Engine Nacelles and Tail Assembly completed, just dry fitted for now. Easier to paint the camo later. Also fits gap-free
Sand of ip comb required
Full weapons assembly. Not decided what I will be using.
"Actuators" added for flaps.
Yup, looking the part
IP Comb sanded, repainted, glossed for Oil painst/ Dust effects once dried
FINALLY! Ma Paints arrived. (Brought according to Color references on Cybermodeler.com)
Used the same paints (FS paints) from Hataka before, for my N/AW A-10A. looked damn awsome. Hope the AK colors will turn just as great!

Hud fixated, on to fitting the canopies, prior to tinting
Noice...
Experimenting with a Trick from pro's ?
Magnet tank and pylons are great, sadly I picked up the wrong dimensions. I got 3x1mm, 1x1mm would be far more practical
Windshield sidewindows tinted
Prepped for priming tommorow, and maybe first camo colours. Lets see how the day turns out
Black based
Paint prep
Marbeling using Tamiya X-2, to have some texture variance in the main camo later
First camo color AK RC083/ FS34102 "Green")
2nd camo colour completed, AK Interactives Dull Green
Wraparound Camo completed. Just touchups, detailing the Fans, Sensors, flap actuators, following that with 1-2 layers Tamiya X-22
Checking missing spots after Spange removal from the wheelbays
Masking and painting of the Turbofans
Ak colors really do the Trick in natural lighting!
AK RC AIR: 083/ 230/ 243
Or FS34102FS34092FS36081
AK RC AIR: 083/ 230/ 243
Or FS34102FS34092FS36081
Glossed using Tamiya x22
Letting the decal softener do it's job
Nearly done decalling
Decals completed, sadly some of the stencils oob are the wrong color and disappear on the camo -.-
Started as pinwash, ended as a oil slick
Nearing the end.... For the aircraft. Still haven't really decided on a loadout yet
On hold until I complete the weapons

Donnie, thanks! I am finding that black-basing has its limits. The more camo colors you add, the more difficult it gets.
