gunpowder Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 Its been a long day today. Did some commission work then had a few hours on the A-10 Managed to get alot done. Built the wings and flaps and added the elevators and rudders. I also added a huge amount of nose weight. Good news is that it sits on its undercarriage fine.

gunpowder Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 Looking great... Do you know about how much weight it took? I'm taking notes for a future build.... Id say about 100grams. Lucky the undercarriage is metal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Aylmer Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hi Looking good, useful info about the weight required in the nose. Keep it up. Thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Aylmer Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Hi Thought you might find this a useful resource. http://www.craigcentral.com/models/a-10a/default.asp Thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Id say about 100grams. Lucky the undercarriage is metal! I stuffed about 6-8 .45 cal musket/pistol balls into the front of mine. Seems to be about the right balance, even with the Cutting Edge resin engine bits. Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Aylmer Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Lovely work...itching to break mine out now. My kinda plane Cheers Matty Hi Matt, thats class, I imagine the pilot sizing the guy up and thinking he is about 5"5 so if I go 5"6 we'll see who is toughest.

Texas Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 HI That flyby is relly cool. I even had to dig my A-10A kit out and look it over. I then had the wife slap me back to the fact I have a F-14A to finish first Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Aylmer Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Hi Gunpowder Are you going to go Green or grey on this??? Thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Here's a question: The A-10 I'm working will have some wear and tear on it--what is the color underneath the grey color scheme on current A-10s? Is it a green primer or something? I'm assuming it wouldn't be natural metal a la WW2? Help appreciated! Thanks, Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
