Although the kit is a bit of "mixed bag" in terms of accuracy, I think it's extremely unlikely we will ever see another 1/32nd injection-moulded 'Hog, so we are kinda stuck with this one. It a shame Trumpeter produced this very early on in their 1/32nd production - their more recently-produced kits are miles ahead of the A-10 (although they still have some "interesting" accuracy issues, as a rule). Cheers. Chris. I agree with you. To me, it looks like an A-10. All the corrections I make are because I think is fun to scratch build. I hope I build it right.

Padubon Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Not much tonight, we have some company but I was able to make myself invisible for “20 minutes” and did the hydraulic accumulators.

I was joking, that’s why I used quotation marks. It was about 2 hours. D.B. Andrus, chrish and LSP_Kevin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have believed you if you'd said two days.... whenever I've tried scratch-building, I would spend hours making tiny details and end up throwing them away in frustration! Very possibly why I am now an "outa-da-box" builder. Chris. Mr Matt Foley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you turning those on a Lathe or how exactly are you making them? Either way, I wish I knew how to do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I wish I knew how to do that! Hello, I don’t turn them. I use plastic rods and Tamiya flexible tape. I guess I forgot to take pictures while I made the ones I used but I made another to show you. Also, I measured how long it took by playing my favorite Van Halen album, “Diver Down”. I took from the beginning all the way to “Little Guitars”, I played this song twice then I finished. Total time: about 26 minutes.

dutchie Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Great ‘how to’ Although you make it look easy, I’ll need I few tries to get the same result. You’ll make this kit of a cool aircraft even nicer! following with great interest. greets Ronald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
