Out2gtcha Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 16 hours ago, A-10LOADER said: Greetings everyone, I'm thinking this will be my last update until the jet is completed. I want my final reveal to be a surprise for everyone and, because she's so close, I don't want to give anything away until she's completed. I was able to get the entire jet weathered and gloss coated again, to lock in all the weathering and to also help darken up the colors so that when I flat coat her, the colors won't fade away. I need to fix one slime light decal, flat coat her, do the metal colored areas and then I can unmask her ( I'm really looking forward to that part, hopefully no over-spray found it's way inside the cockpit ) and get all the pieces added to her. I'm hoping with in the next two weeks, at the very latest, to have a finished product to show all of you. Thanks to everyone who stayed on this ride until the end, I appreciate it very much. Steve "TOMCATS FOREVER, BABY...!" Looking forward to it! The big twin jet kitty is even more impressive in person I'm guessing, starting off with shear presence of size alone. Cant wait to see the finished product! A-10LOADER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Cheers Anthony Thanks so much, she's getting closer everyday. It's kinda bittersweet at this point. I want to get her finished but, on the other hand, I'll miss working on her too. Plus, after working on this scale, for so long, it's gonna be really tough to go back to my normal scale of 1/48th. Steve "TOMCATS FOREVER, BABY...!"

A-10LOADER Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 I am hoping for better weather tomorrow to get shots of her outside I've taken some pics inside and they really don't do her justice.

A-10LOADER Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Still waiting on the weather folks, sorry. Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and remember our troops deployed who can't be home. Steve "TOMCATS FOREVER, BABY...!"

A-10LOADER Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 Greetings all, Some "detail" shots to share with you and the final pics will be posted later on today in the Ready for Inspection area. Thanks everyone for sticking around. Steve "TOMCATS FOREVER, BABY...!" Yaw string added using 34 gauge wire painted white. The "pointy" Angle of Attack sensor probe replaced with the tip of an old sewing needle. Probes added to the port side of the jet. Probes added to the starboard side of the jet including the scratch-built Temperature probe (top left). The RIO in his office. The Pilot in his office. Notice the scratch-built "SparrowHawk" HUD. Heat exchangers painted. The leading edge details really show up nicely after being painted.
