A-10LOADER Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Greetings all, I just wanted to update those who are still following along with this thread that it's not dead. I've been struggling with my right hand for quite some time now, @10 years and, at the moment it's very difficult to even do the most simplest tasks let alone work an airbrush. Problem is I look at the Big Cat everyday and it eats away at me that I can't work on her properly. In my head, I can see her with colors on, gloss coated and ready for decals but, unfortunately, that's not the case. A lot of you have been very supportive of my work and I truly appreciate that. Hopefully things will get better here soon and I can get back to the bench. Steve stusbke and Marcel111 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skydancer Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Thank you A10LOADER for this thread! Your work inspired me and gave some good solutions for my 1/18 F-14D Tomcat VF-2 Bounty Hunters project. I try to make some pictures of my "Bullet Six" cat in a new thread about her. You will see many things on her you made yourself a head at before on your project. A-10LOADER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very much looking forward to seeing your WIP thread. I really wish JSI would have made a D version. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skydancer Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Well, the CAD construction and molds must be anywhere for the A Cat... and for a Su-27, F-15 and A10 in 1:18 the chinese guys presented years ago... I always hope Merit is getting them anyhow. Would love to get and overwork a Warthog in this scale. A-10LOADER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-10LOADER Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 From what I've heard from others, the Tomcat molds were destroyed. I was also told by Merit that they have no intention of producing the F-15, or any others, because the prices have gone up too much. I too would love an A-10.

A-10LOADER Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Greetings all, FINALLY after 5 years and 3 months of more off than on work, I got the Light Ghost Gray on the Tomcat. All the detailing I added really shows off now with some color on her. I'm very excited and happy to be at this stage of the game. Up next will be the FS 36320, Dark Ghost Gray applied to the forward fuselage section. I'm hoping that the updates come on a more regular basis from here on out. Thanks again to everyone for your support and interest in this project. Steve Shawn M, Jim Barry, Marcel111 and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
