Have a look here, this guy knows his stuff. http://www.craigcentral.com/models/a-10a/default.asp Thanks Ian HI Wheel wells finished except the painting and that comes later. Working on main gear legs and wheels. I have them assembled and am adding the hydrolic lines at present. It's a lot of work but I am having fun with it. The answer is yes I have been watching the Big Hog builds here and on ARC and checked out the web sight. All this should help when I get to start mine. Very interresting . Those guys do some great work and I hope we can get ours to look that good or somewhere close. Thanks Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dug out my Trumpter A-10A with the goodies, looked it over and put the lid back in the box and slapped my hands so I won't be tempted to start it before this Tomcat is finished. It sure is gona be fun but hay I am having a great time building this big cat. So on with it. Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Aylmer Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hi Texas, I agree with BB, very nice work on those wheel wells. I just looked in the box of the Tamiya F14, HUGE. Keep up the good work. Thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These photos are of the main gear legs assembled, plumbed and wired but not painted Well there you have it. It doesn't seem like much progress to me but hay I am having fun. Now I can do some painting on the wings. Enjoy Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Aylmer Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Hi Texas, Great job on those legs, also, can really see your rescribing work on the fuselage. That took some doing, very nice. Thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 Hi Texas, Great job on those legs, also, can really see your re-scribing work on the fuselage. That took some doing, very nice. Thanks Ian HI Ian Thanks for your positive comments. This model has been a truly learning experience for me. It's the first 1/32 scale aircraft build in years, first try at rescribing a model, first time to add plumming on a model. I have used resin parts before so that wasn't new. I plan on weathering it with artist oils if I don't loose my nerve. Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Hi Texas, I use artists water colours with a small amount of washing up liquid in it so it adheres to the glossy surface better. Then I dry it with my air brush so it goes a little sticky and wipe it away where I want to with a damp tissue paper. You probably already knew this though?

Thanks Ian HI No I have never tried using water colours on a model but I may consider it. Did you use the water colours before or after decaling the model and did you clear coat the model after using the water colours. Thanks for the info.
