geedubelyer Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Hi Chuck, It is a real treat to see this bird finished and to be able to enjoy so many beautiful images of her. There is no doubt that this is the benchmark for all future A-10 builds and the yardstick against which others will be judged. You have excelled in every department my friend. The hard work that you have put in and the challenges that you have overcome have surely created the best A-10 built so far. I would very much like to see photos of this model taken in sunlight, on a realistic base and against an authentic backdrop. I think it would be almost impossible to tell it from the real deal. Enjoy your time at the airshow and come back full of inspiration and enthusiasm for your next "Kicked up a notch" adventure. Cheers.

ghatherly Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Great work Chuck, Glad to see her finally done. Everyone needs to check out the build over on ARC. Chuck has a gifted way of explaining things in a way that few people have, and he does this for free! The thread is a “build book†for the Trumpy A-10. You earned your stripes join this build for sure!! Enjoy the Air Show, I went every year when we lived in Vegas and it is worth the trip.

Totalize Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Absolutely killer stuff. You did a fantastic job Chuck. Just as importanly I commend you for your extreme patience and perservernce. We modelers are known for such things but you took it to a whole new level with this build. Congrats!Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck540z3 Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 And here it is Chuck! http://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=2177 Kev Thank you Kevin very much. And also a very kind thank you to everyone else! Awesome! I just hope mine comes out half as good. Well, both of them do. I've got two kits and I want to build an early MB bird with the kit decals and a later model C like yours or similar. Now, two big questions. 1) Could you post some side by side comparisons of the bad kit lines and your corrections? I see the flashing and bad panel fits. Nasty..... 2). Where can I find info on the details between the A and the C? Scott, Digging through my build thread, the answer to your questions are all over the place, so I'll refer you to near the beginning of my build where I hope you can find what you need.

ScottsGT Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Thanks Chuck, bookmarked it for a good read and re-read when I take on my project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cross Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I would love to build a Jarhead Warthog, but you've pretty much dissuaded me from trying. Don't have the patience or time to put into a build like that. Maybe someday Tamiya will fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Just AWESOME Build Chuck, The kit is an EARLY Trumpy kit and thy had to start somewhere. You have created a STANDARD BEARER in the A-10 Community. I can't show this to a friend of mine, he'd quite building his........I'll so him later when he will APPRECIATE it more.....he's YOUNG!

chuck540z3 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Thank you Gents. I appreciate your comments very much! As you may have noticed, I don't respond to every single comment individually, but that's not because I don't care and I don't read every single one, because I do. I just find that a response from me to every single response drags out the thread for no reason, but hey, that's just me! Again, thank you! This forum is full of modelers way better than me, so I am humbled if you like my Hog. Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEH737 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I responded to Chuck on his build over on ARC, but I'll say it again here, I've spent a lot of time around A-10's, and this is the nicest I've ever seen. The other thing is that to truly appreciate all that went into it, you've had to wrestle with one to really understand what an undertaking it is. Once again, superb job Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthumbs Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Another beauty Chuck. I followed the build start to finish on the ARC forum...entertaining, educational, and inspiring. Bravo. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N312RB Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Looks great! I was hoping you would come over here. This is the best modeling forum on the interwebs bar none. Will you at least cross post your next WIP over here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
