Hello All,
I'm a new kid on the block here. My name is Mike Bhangu and I most build aircraft/jets, but I have several armor, Sci-fi, figures, auto, and ships/boats to get to some day. Here is a last model I finish. Due to work it took me off an on two years to complete. It is a 1/32 A-10A N/AW that I build it into What-if. I used Verlinden cockpit set and Cutting Edge exhaust. I scratch build many small details that were missing in the kit. I saw this A-10 in Arctic Camo ![]() And I created it into this.... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I did very well with this build. I took it to 5 shows and won 1st place in 3 and 2nd place in 2. Well, I hope you guys will like it and welcome me to your forum. Thank you and happy modeling.

Thank you guys. I'm glad y'all liked it.
Neb, I guess you better get crackin on that before the hog goes wild on your shelf ![]() ![]() BTW, I'll share few more pics with y'all. In these pics the wheels look like they are gloss painted, but they were not. It was just the oil from the rubber tires that kept changing the look of the flat paint. So, I stripped them down and socked the weeks in 70% alcohol over night and painted them again. Which solved this problem. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by youngtiger1; 04-18-2012 at 01:52 AM. |

My goodness Mike! Just outstanding!
A question: I can see that the pinwash is dead on (nice and tight). Did you also preshade as well? ![]() Excellent paint---subtle, subtle, subtle... ![]()

Thank you for your kind words guys. They mean a lot to me.
Neb, I did do some preshade but my first coat went on little heaver then anticipated and pre-shade got lost. So, I did some post-shade. I think, for future projects I'll stick with post shade cause it seem easier to me doing it afterward. ![]() ![]() Last edited by youngtiger1; 04-20-2012 at 01:35 AM. |

A beautiful build of the A-10 that should have been...welcome to RI, Mike. If you have some "in progress" photos of your post shading work, I'd like to see it. I get pre-shading, but I'm not too clear on how post shading works...
