HI GUYS I JUST GOT THE HOBBYBOSS A10 D. SEATER I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE GUNSHIP GRAY IS THE RIGHT COLOR I GOT SOME PHOTO AND LOOKS MORE LIGHT GRAY CAN YOU HELP ME TO GET THE RIGHT COLOR?

Hi Cesare,
I have the same kit, and looking at the colour HobbyBoss suggest does look a little to dark IMHO. personally myself I would go a little lighter on the gray, maybe mix a drop of white into the Gunship Gray.
Considering thier was only one N/AW A 10 built, I have found several photos where the gray looks darker in some pics and lighter in others. Whether it was re-sprayed at different times or if its just different weather conditions affecting the colour we see I don't know .

hi erik ! its a great kit so far , i will follow your suggestion!good cockpit detail! don't you think the back cockpit should be corrected?

The correct coplor for the A-10A N/AW is ANA 603 Sea Grey - FS36118

Model Master..MM:1723
Gunze Sangyo..GS:H305
Tamiya..T:XF-24
Humbrol..4*Hu:77 + 3*Hu:70 + 2*Hu:34 + 2*Hu:25 (Hu:125)

As Aandy said it seems on the dark side, I to would lighten up the color for a second coat in and around upper panels and leading edges.

thank you joe i owe you one if by mistake i will be around new york by the way any suggestion for a good photo references? cockpit one !!!!! thanks again

Hey Cesare there really isn't that much infoomation out on the A-10 N/AW, I have many books on the A-10 and each say the same about the N/AW aircraft. As a matter of fact each of the books carry the same info just as what can be found on the net. Basicly the A-10 N/AW is the same as the A-10 in it's self, the second seat was added above the ammunition drum and avionics boxes. The boxes were located in the fairing behind the canopy and the fin were increased to 20inches to compensate for the extra side area...other than that the airframe stayed unchanged. Also the N/AW can be flown from both cockpits.

Here is a great walkaround... A-10 N/AW

Anything else please feel free to ask.

Great link Joe.
Just what I needed for my build too.

Thanks Joe, you seem to have some good info on the A-10. I'm looking for some reference for the Suwon AB, Korea (SU) A-10's from the '80's. Do you have any ref for those? I have a few from when I was there but they are poor quality. I would like something to refresh my memeory.

Juggler
