  • Hmm, I just looked up the control board replacement part for the A-10 / F4 at MRC. There was one review and that person said he got a replacement board but it would not close the nose gear door. Starts me thinking there is a problem with the control boards.

    • Does your radio provide for sequencing? If you have a spare channel you can just bypass the board altogether.

      • Sorry, I went old school on my drop tanks. I won't have to worry about them falling off when I'm flying balls out with this plane.
        Gluded them on the pylon, so when I take them off my wing is clean.

                            I don't believe so, but was local to the area, a full scale pilot and all around airplane nut :P

                              • Working on some weathering. Grossman gave me a good idea using an old brush but I actually ended up finding an old metallic silver pen that is perfect for the job! I am referencing a technical drawing from markstyling.com for reference.



                                I have a long ways to go but it's not too bad so far...

                                      Thats what I did, used a metalic Silver sharpie and 400 grit sandpaper, worked out great for me to, yours looks great, I wasn't brave enough to do that much like you did, was my first time weathering anything.

ID:	140708 Hey Aros, that looks great. I was actually at the Air Force museum last week. Here's the one photo I took of that particular F-4.
