Beautiful work with Evergreen and Photo-etch! I had one twelve hour day and two “elevens” this week... and I thought I was going to drop after the second day... so props to you, sir for putting in that much time and turning around to work on your project!
Make more models!

Great work on the A-10 weapons! Definitely worth the effort since the A-10 carried such a heavy weapons load.

Thanks guys!

The thing is, in reality, the A-10 never really carries that big of a load when out hunting terrorists. Even in DS, they stopped carrying Mavericks on triple launchers cause of the weight.

Primed everything to check for things that needed to be fixed. Yep, lots more work to do. [sigh]

That I didn't know. Oh well, I guess mine will be plodding along then since I loaded everything on it that I could. :headslap: :bag:

Nice primage, looks like it will really help enhance this model.

Thanks Duke. Unfortunately I found a lot of places that need work on pretty much everything.

Thanks Portman!

It doesn't look that nice anymore. Sanding and filling has started.
