After getting off a 24 hr shift, it's time to get back to work on the A-10.

I've been fighting with the ammo feed cover. Not a lot of contact points to glue it down.

24HR Shift!?!?! Damn you EMS guys put in the hours! (and thanks for that BTW).

The A-10 is looking great - I'm loving this additional PE.

Work on the gun area continues. Had to do something with that ugly strip at the front of the bay. Cut it out and added a piece of evergreen strip that was the perfect width. It's glued in place, just need to trim a little on the outside.

Got the piece faired in and super glue in the gap (right side of gun bay as looking at the pic).
