This latest model build video covers the construction and detailing of the 1/48th scale A-10 Thunderbolt II Tamiya kit #610828-3300. Custom decals were created to label the attack jet from the 357th Fighter Squadron based from Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, Arizona.

I flew an A-10 for several years. I thought our base was being attacked so I went out and strafed a rusty tank, a Honda Civic and a Tyrannosaurus. The boss smelled alcohol on my breath so I never got credit for the dinosaur. To whom it may concern, these are my 3 favorite art books: - Works of Wonder by Michael Whelan - Icon by Frank Frazetta - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

Absolutely gorgeous. Loved the extra details added by you. Made a significant difference in the end result. I’m glad you chose that particular color scheme for that model, as a gray paint scheme might stand up better in a more recently released model. Looks great overall, and the decals you made were also spot on. Well done!

That's a fantastic looking A-10 mate! I prefer the Lizard scheme myself as well. This Tamiya kit was one of the first model kits that I purchased when I got back into modeling about 4 years ago after a 20+ year break. As yet, it is still sitting in my stash unbuilt. After watching this, I may have to do something about that. Also, great tip for extending the brush for the extra thin cement. I had no idea!

@MaxAfterburner 5 лет назад

Thanks for the added info about Capt. Button. I was living in Sedona AZ and was standing outside my work on Feb.9, 1985 in the morning when two A-10s flew into Oak Creek Canyon just north of Sedona. One A-10 crashed into the wall of the canyon killing the pilot. The they were on a low level training flight (in a rainstorm) flying from Williams Air Force Base to Davis -Monthan AFB. The pilot was identified as Capt. Stephen P. Bowden, of the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing at Myrtle Beach Air Force Base, S.C. Excellent job on the model & the paint job. I've built the Tamiya kit and the Revell kit of the A-10 (did not re-scribe any panel lines). I have to admit that I like the Revell kit a bit more than the Tamiya kit. Still have the AMT/ERTL A-10 Thundrerbolt II 'Action Series' kit waiting in the stash.

I am going to redo the camouflage and make it grey. It is a large kit even for 1/48. the first time I ever bought are started kit. Thank you for the video, great build.

Thank you for sharing a beautiful build. I'm particularly glad that you kept your weathering to look more realistic. IMO, a lot of the aircraft builds on RU-vid have modelers over-exaggerating their panel lines, and "over-weathering" their projects. So the finished products, while displaying fabulous technique, look like parodies of the real thing.

@MaxAfterburner 2 месяца назад

Hi Tye, you can use a scribe or a mini saw blade that will turn those panel lines into depressions instead of having raised panel lines on this A-10 kit. In this case, I used a Tamiya photo etch fine craft saw. You can lay a piece of plastic embossing tape used for lettering as a straight edge guide on the model. For part II of your question: If you look at step #9 on your instruction manual there is a better view of how C4 is supposed to sit on the landing gear parts, in particular the left man gear in this instance. Hope this all helps.

Fun fact, the inboard launcher rails on stations 3 and 9 were not used long. The firing of the AGM-65 would melt the rubber of the landing gear wheel. Most A-10's now are fitted with a light load out to conserve fuel rather than a full strike package. Rounds limit switch on the GAU-8/A is always set to the limit position as well.

Hi jhuntosgarage, the A-10s are certainly a staple of almost daily sightings in southern Arizona. I remember as an avionics tech that it was hard on the knees working in the gear bays usually troubleshooting WOW switches or fuel indicator issues for my F-16s. I can't imaging bringing in a power wash spray gun or hand washing gear on any military aircraft, a lot of work 😮. Thanks for your service and for watching! 😎

Really good build on a not so good kit. The Hobby Boss A-10 is a very nice kit BTW. Excellent job on the video as well.

You said you weren't happy with the kit but if I could do 1/2 of what you did with it. I would be the happiest 45 yr old kid. Great job.

They're not retiring the A-10 anytime soon, the marines and the USarmy have shown interest in buying upgraded block units (for obvious CAS reasons)

great model again by you, i like the way how do you modeling, thumbs up. I like the A-10 since my youth, they were stationed at Ahlhorn air base near to Oldenburg, Germany and i like how large the plane was, so mighty and powerful but also very silent. Cheers from Germany
