Texas Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 This is the 1/32 scale Trumpter A-10A that I started over a year ago. I now have time to do some more to it and hopefully finish it. I think this group build will help. Here's what it looks like today. Here's the link to the LSP on line build I had going: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.ph...l=Trumpter+A-10 Stay Tuned Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrongWay Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Looking forward to seeing this baby come together Texas. I've been eyeing one of these kits on e-Bay. Looks to be a tricky build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Thanks WrongWay...... Here is a small update on this build. I am really glad to be back doing something to it. I have been assembling the tail of this beast. Boy it's big. The only thing I did extra is remove the two sensors on the outside of each vertical tail section. You may be able to see where I glued in a chunk of sprue and sanded it flush. There not on the one I am building. As you can see in the photos I have also started work on the kit supplied engines. They are a bit small but I have opted to use them. I had to drill out the back of each engine as they were a solid casting. I am also chopping and hacking the rear engine out of Cutting Edges resin detail part. The full part is on the left and what I want is on the right. Oh what fun.

Texas Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks Guys....I made a little progress today. Got the rear exhaust fans installed and the front fans moved back. Still need to do som filling and tweaking but it's moving along. Stay Tuned Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrongWay Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Those jet fans are going to look fantastic when painted. Excellent work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I just love the Warthog! When I get around to doing mine, I intend to backdate to prototypical configuration and do the white over flat black scheme! What scheme will you be using? Gotta finish my sculpture of this guy soon also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta finish my sculpture of this guy soon also! Here's the one I plan on doing: There's a lot of ways to build the Warthog and you just have to pick what you like. I am very particle to the Shark Mouth nose and the green paint schemes. Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0t0rdr1ver Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Looking good Texas! I'm looking forward to seeing this one come together, it's always been one of my favorite aircraft. Nice choice with the markings also...in my opinion they are what made the A-10 so recognizable...classic T-Bolt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Had a similar experience with one of these. Replaced the engines with now-defunct Cutting Edge stuff, as well as the wheels and cockpit. It's an impressive aircraft. Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
