Night Hog Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Great job Mike. As one of the few who actually flew her (old 664) I really appreciate your interest in this unique bird. Not as criticism, but as future reference, the original concept was to hose the FLIR and Radar in the landing gear sponsons. Would have been a great addition to the CAS force, unfortunately it was too ugly, too slow, and not nearly expensive enough. It would also have been far too lethal.

Smokey Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Great job on the what if A-10. Seeing yours makes me want to get mine out and start it as a what if paint scheme. Dan Youngtiger1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngtiger1 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Thank you for the kind words guys. Last week before Reno Air Races I pulled of the old gal and took it the IPMS Reno show since i've never been there and took second and people's choice award Mr. Brice, it's an honor to read your comments about my Hog. I love this jet and couple off more in the stash to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reconspit Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Very, very cool..., look's damn good. I wasn't aware that it can look this good. Youngtiger1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Mike did you build it straight out of the box? Did you use any aftermarket on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngtiger1 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 I used Verlinden cockpit and cutting exhausts for it and did some scratch building in the wheel wells. I also fixed the engine fans best to my abilities. This was the first time I did my own decals and printed them on laser printer. Also, the weapons are from Academy F/A-18C kit.

Rainer Hoffmann Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hey, very nice indeed!! I like the Starfighter style canopies. But I think you got them wrong, mate, they should open to the other side (just kidding!). Cheers Rainer Youngtiger1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Top notch,Mike. Really cool paint scheme, shading, and weathering. Youngtiger1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesniF-16 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) Wow Mike... What can i say that hasn't been said? The "Arctic Hog" looks magnificent! Top notch craftsmanship in all aspects of this build... I especially like the camo, looks down right bad to the bone!!! And the homemade decals aren't too shabby either... Cheers One more thing to add... Great looking photos, what camera do you shoot with? /Jesse Edited September 19, 2013 by JesniF-16 Youngtiger1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngtiger1 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Thanks Jesse. It sure was a fun kit with few bumps on the way but nothing that we modellers can't tackle. Btw, I used Nikon D2X w/ 60mm lens. I should take newer photographs and write up an article on the beast. Oh and I do believe your F-15E is going to be way better then my Ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
