I've put the gloss coat on with Tamiya X-22 and started putting a few decals on. I love the teeth but its going to need quite a few coats of Tamiya markfit to get it to set right. One thing I like about this kit is there aren't many decals on the aircraft itself, they're all on the ordnance and I love decalled ordnance

Very nice. The Euro 1 scheme fit the A10 well.

[ShaunW]

That looks really great, BT.

[Andy Dighton]

That's coming along a treat BT. Looks a real brute.

[Battletweety]

Decals all on, a second coat of gloss and now my fav part the panel line wash. Here's hoping some of this stuff comes off.

Haven't worked up the courage to try this yet

Its all fine mate. A good gloss coat and this stuff rubs right off with a damp cloth. Plenty of online videos about it. I use Ultimate weathering wash which is a clay based product and I've been using for a few years now. I had too many dramas with oil based washes. Here's a closeup sneak peak after I've rubbed it off and putt the matt clear coat on...




No courage required. Once you try it, you'll never look back.

Very very very nice indeed BT - well done!

[Andy Dighton]

My word that looks good.

[Ratch]

Nice work on the camo

[Battletweety]

Almost done. Just need to paint one more bomb. Been a very easy kit to build.



cheers

[Battletweety]

All finished. It was an enjoyable build, a simple kit, not big on detail but who doesn't love an A10 bristling with bombs
