So what do you think?

Nice one Allen. I was going to sit down tomorrow morning and do one. Looks excellent to me. What do you think lads.
All the best.

FWIW, it looks good to me!

Nice job Allen, clearly shows the theme !

Hi all
Just a query, has everyone recieved their decals? There seems to be a few folk who have not notified me whether they have recieved them. Or maybe you have'nt. How about a sound off.
All the best.

I haven't purchased mine just yet, I'm hoping one of the vendors at the IPMS show in a couple of weeks will have a set for me and if not I'll snag some online...

I have mine in the stash for a while...

and today received another set: Platz 1/48 of the F-15J JSDAF 50th anniversary theme (mount Fuji and the cherry blossoms...) Now I have to collect the appropriate kit at some later point...

Cheers,

Harm

Thanks Harm and Ray.

If anybody needs some I have the whole extra sheet of victory cats i would send they wont get used and id hate to see such a nice set go to waste

Nice one Justin. If anyone out there is interested in the decals I would seriously take Justin up on this offer and join the campaign. The decals are excellent.
All the best.

I got the spare aggressor markings from Stefan. Looks great. It will be a very colourful F-5. Looking forward to get started.

Justin, send you a PM.

Just ten days to go gentlemen
All the best.
tim

Cool!
Glad to know that they made it to Denmark safely.

Cheers, Stefan.

Decals just arrived today, thanks again Hermon!

Not trying to be a smart-ass, but since february has only 28 days, the campaign should start 5 days (next tuesday).

Okay guys, the time is ticking down and we all get to start our builds on Tuesday. I've been gearing up, surfing for build logs and such, and I'm about to drive myself crazy!!!

Here's my problem. Panel lines... The revell A-10 has raised panel lines and a boat load of other raised detail. This will only be my fourth kit since getting back into the hobby last year and I've never rescribed anything. I've checked into how its done and I have the tools and supplies needed.

Question is, do I do it? What are your opinions? Am I biting off more than I can chew? The raised detail is pretty fine, and doesn't look horrible to me, but I get the feeling that it's viewed negatively by most other modelers. Has anyone else done this kit and if so what was your approach? would it be okay to mix it, rescribing only panel lines and leaving other raised details intact? Am I just being an eejit about all this?

Hi, Ray.

I don't really mind about raised panel lines.
The real-life A-10 is a very special aircraft with regard to this issue. The rivets on the nose are flush rivets (the skin is smooth there), the rivets on the tail are raised. For the speeds at which the A-10 flies, it doesn't matter if the rivets at the rear are raised.
That Revell (ex-Monogram) kit is considered by many the best A-10 kit on the market.

Cheers, Stefan.

I thought this month had gone quickly

All the best.
tim

Thanks for the reply Stefan! I have also heard that it's considered to be about the best kit shape wise. There is a ton of detail on the kit too. I really dont think I should sand the whole thing smooth and engrave everything... I guess this will be another one of those learning experiences I get with every new kit! I'm really leaning toward mixing it up and leaving some raised detail intact and engraving the panel lines
