Jack12477 Posted March 4, 2020 Share #35 Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) An A-10 ? Like this ? Done with airbrush and Floquil paints about 20-25 years ago. Weathering enhanced by common household dust. I forget what scale it is. Camo pattern done free hand, no masking. Actually airbrushing is not as daunting as you would think. Takes a bit of practice but it is easily mastered.

Obviously you have not been following my attempt at building a Huey Jack. Every time I pull out the airbrush I am presented with what seems to be a new set of issues in trying to make it look right! So much for "easily mastered" Unless you are talking about the airbrush being MY master. LOVE your A-10 Jack. It deserves a little TLC now that you have brought it out into the light of day. I would enjoy seeing it all cleaned up. A number of years ago I had some business to conduct over at the the Naval Air Station locally and while I was there right at the mid runway area two A-10s took off and did a few circuits of the field at deck top level. I swear they made square turns at the end of the runway on each run! Ever since that day I have loved the aircraft. One of the few modern aircraft I hold a fondness for. I asked the naval pilot I was with about Air Force planes using a Navy field and he said that it was OK "So long as they didn't poop on the runway." He said it with a straight face as well.

I would enjoy seeing it all cleaned up. I did try to clean it up, but I think I made it worse. Those white blotches by the cockpit were the result of "cleaning". I have not found a method that does not destroy the decals in the process even tho they are covered by a clear coat. Many many many years ago when our kids were real young we took them to a Thunderbirds air sow at Stewart Field in Newburg. We were sitting ion a hill overlooking the main runway. Two A-10s from ANG Niagara Falls took off in formation, once airborne they split up, one vectoring north and the other continuing west out of our sight. The announcer was describing the planes characteristics etc and we were trying to follow the north bound plane. All of a sudden the 2nd one came right over our heads from behind us about 500-800 ft above us, scared the crap out of everyone on that hill, NO ONE HEARD HIM COMING, no engine sound until he was right over us. Announcer was laughing cuz he knew what had just happened (as planned). The Thunderbirds were awesome but these two Wort Hogs left a lasting impression on everone.

lmagna Posted March 4, 2020 Share #43 Posted March 4, 2020 1 hour ago, mtaylor said: it was WWI and WWII aircraft that got the attention. That was true at the Reno Air Races years ago as well. Each year the Confederate Air force, (Now I understand it is called the Commemorative Air Force) or CAF flew a number of their restored aircraft. One part of their show was a "Pearl Harbor" attack where they flew their converted AT-6/Jap Zeros and P-40 in a simulated attack. At one point they flew their B-17 in on three engines and made it look like it crashed. Then a few minutes later it flew low level in the opposite direction on all fours and at the end of the runway would nose up and pull away to the right at the same time evading the "Zeros." One year it pulled up so hard that from the bleachers on the ground you could see the entire upper surface of the aircraft as it climbed away! It was a show stopper seeing a plane that large climb out like a fighter. I think it was about a year or two later when I got to ask the pilots about that year and how impressive it had been and why they didn't do it that way all of the time. They told me that on that occasion they may have over done the pullout just a little and the news people they had on board almost messed their pants!

Yes it's good to get going as I did think it was going to sir collecting dust forever 😏 Its good stuff and lasts as it only releases a small amount, the tube can block but if you put a thin needle down it with the end bent over or worse case heat the end of the tube with a fine flame like a candle / lighter it releases the glue again.

Edwardkenway Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share #57 Posted March 24, 2020 Well that's it I'm not waiting for my site to close, I'm not going to work after today. In between mowing the lawn because the sun is out and cleaning the yard I've bee doing a bit on the dauntless. Put the engine together and completed the cockpit. Dry fitted in fuselage to check it sits ok. It did so glued fuselage and taped it while it sets. Wings next. Cheers till next time 😁👍 GrandpaPhil, mtaylor, popeye the sailor and 6 others 9 Quote Current builds; Henry Ramey Upcher 1:25 Providence whaleboat- 1:25 HMS Winchelsea 1764 1:48 Completed: HM Cutter Sherbourne- 1:64- finished Triton cross section scratch- 1:60 - finished Non ship: SBD-3 Dauntless 1:48 Hasegawa -FINISHED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
