Re: 1/48 Hobby Boss A-10
Trying to decide if I want to open up the bottom to show off the back half of the gun (ammo drum and ammo chutes).

Re: 1/48 Hobby Boss A-10
Finished assembling the engines. Still have some gaps and steps to take care of but they fit perfectly on the fuselage.

Ah... the chrome pen! That makes sense because there is some very subtle surface "swirls" on the cannister that may have been brush painted but the finish was at the same time too smooth and shiny to be brush painted. It's a very authentic metal look.

In my opinion that’s a beautiful gun to build an airplane around. I’ve work! And those engines you did are looking good too!Medicman71 wrote:Thanks Duke!
The gun is completed!!! Not perfect but better than I expected.

Well since you did all that nice work you gotta show it off...
