Put the wraps on this one this morning as part of my ongoing battle with my small scale warbird completions. This is the last of three I had started over a year ago as a comparative build. I still have one more to do,the Academy kit, but I am waiting for next year to build that one. I'm a little burned out on A-10's at the moment.....go figure. Built OOB using the kit decals and Model Master and Humbrol paints. I think I am going to be switching to strictly Humbrol for future builds. They seem to go down much smoother than the Model Masters I have used for years. I ran into a lot of spattering that I have never had before. I'm thinking it is a different formula or something. With the Humbrols, it's almost like shooting silk they go down that smooth. I'll have to adjust to the longer drying times, but I think I can handle that. Thanks for looking. "Q"

Nice looking A-10. I like the look. I also like the comment about going Tank Hunting.
