A-10 Intruder. Attack Truder ?

Captain Canada · March 18, 2015, 07:14:14 PM

Had this idea forever. Originally planned for 72nd scale, but these cheap kits popped up and I need somat to do down here....

Not a bad office either

Yes, mostly A-10. That obvious eh

On the upper left of the pic you can see the spiral stair to the roof. Spend most of my time up there

Very nice office indeed! Bet you can spot g-strings really well too...

The idea of mixing those two models is great, very interesting indeed!

Cold drinks, aircraft spotting, bikini spotting (allegedly), and model kits- he may never leave!

1/144 is a perfect scale and complexity for vacation builds.

I built the A-10 OOB as a kid - great little kit.

This looks exciting, definitely one to follow. I must admit I've not done a vacation build since about age 11...instead I annoy Sam by fondling plastic in the living room of whomever we're staying with as she chats!

Thanks guys. I've done a few 350 scale kits, a whale, a merlin chopper and have mostly completed that 144th scale Albtross

would sure like to see it.

I was planning on finishing this as a quick build down south, but just couldn't get past how the joint was. Defo needs some filler.

Once the Harriers are done I would like to finish this one.

DogfighterZen · March 31, 2015, 11:40:27 AM

So hurry the harriers up!

Captain Canada · March 31, 2015, 11:43:24 AM

You bet ! They are actually coming along nicely...they seem to have formed up into pair. Parriers.

That doesnt look like Canada.

In fact that looks a lot like here; in Sydney, we dont have to go to the tropics anymore - the tropics have come to us. Sky looks like that all the time, now.

I really like what (I think) I am seeing here - all curves up the front and power down the back. It combines two of my fave post-war aircraft; i absolutely love the Intruder; its such a beautiful shape, reminds me of a fish.
