Looks good Stuart. I love Rattle cans -- Tamiya in particular. Whish they made interior colors though!

I like rattle cans myself if the need calls for it. I use them mostly for auto/truck kits. Once in a while on aircrafts.

This is slowly getting there - the decals are on and I've painted up some of the smaller parts like the U/C and prop. Just a final clear coat to go and I can start getting this together. Maybe even finish a 2nd kit in 2025!

Cheers!

Thanks Carlos - I do rather like these ANG schemes, I might have to do more.

Looking forward to getting it done so I can get on with the A-10 mind you. :sad: :ggun:

Amazing work, Stuart. Bravo! I still really believe in metal spray cans, especially Tamiya’s aircraft line of paints. It’s wonderful seeing your work! Very happy for you!
Make more models!
