1/32 Trumpeter A-10

--------------------

 

Finally after appx. 5 years, I got my A-10 finished.  During the years I have worked on it on and off.  The Trumpeter kit has been extensively modified with aftermarket resin "black boxes", resin ejection seat etc.  Extensive detailing has been carried out all over the kit to mainly highlight things but also to correct errors done by Trumpeter.  As I have been working on the model for so many years I almost forgot the brands of the different aftermarked kits used.  The BLU-bombs are scratchbuilt, the rest of the armament is from the kit.  The figures are from Reheat and Airfix multipose. The fire extinguisher is also an aftermarket kit. The refueling hoses are scratchbuild, also.
