Hey gang, wanted to put some more flights on the A-10 today but too much wind. So I ordered the paint needed for the tri color scheme on the bubble canopy version. Callie will be supplying the decals for Ira Kepford's #29. Was going with the birdcage because of the color but just couldn't hack the birdcage and found out the two canopies are not interchangeable. So canceled the birdcage preorder and preordered the bubble version. Go Hawks!!

Love the shout out to Kepford's #29. Looking forward to seeing her transformation Brad!

Hey Brad...Ira Kepford's awesome! I don't know if this is helpful, but here are some shots of a pro modeler's build of that plane (Larry Horyna, 1/32 scale Tami
ya). He researches everything thoroughly! Some great detail on the wear at the wing root and the faded fabric sections of the wing. Can't wait to see it! Rob4 PhotosLast edited by Marco Polo; Mar 1, 2019, 09:00 PM.

That is gorgeous and quite close to what I am aiming for on my ESM 85" Corsair. Love that faded blue and weathering! Mine is going to be based off of Pappy's last Corsair before he was shot down and taken prisoner (but not before getting another kill).

Thanks for all the inspirational shots guys. Don't know whether I'll live up to that level of wear and weathering. Probably paint it first prior to assembly, Callies transfers next, then some flights to dial it in. After that, I'll take a poke at weathering. Rob love the Tamiya model job...especially the mechanics foot wear on the wing roots.
