Thanks everybody for all your kind words and support!  :thumbsup:

Philp,
I started this build in Sept of 07, my first build in about 5 years. From the start, I told myself I was going to work on her when I felt like working on it and not every time I get a chance. Other than me dropping her while painting and the whole moving cross country, it's been one of the most enjoyable build I have had in a long time. Here's what I did one her this weekend...


The decaling of my Chazir has started! And after making my own decals, I don't think I will be buyiny any aftermarket ones in the future. It took about a day and half of drawing, printing and resizing to get them right. I am very pleased with the results. You can see the new IAF roundal I made as well as my kill markings (T-80, BMP-2, BM-21 and ZSU-23 kills). The door art was an idea from my best friend.



It would not be a Hawg without a shark mouth!



My Chazir flys with the 105th Squadron. In 2014, the squadron turned in it's F-16 for A-10I. Note, the pilots personal artwork on the engine. Yes Virginia, Pigs can fly!



Some more custom decals for my LAU-117's



And alittle artwork to jazz up the Python 4's.



As well as on the ECM pod.



The new chaff and flare boxes on the weapon stations (no# 1 and 13) and the one in the rear gets a decal.



And if you want a copy of the decals, look >>>>HERE<<<< . You can download them and print you own set of IAF A-10I decals.



Until later,
Steven L :ph34r:

Holy Meshugena, look at that Hawg!

That thing is a monster, man.  I just spent 20 minutes going over the whole thread, the pictures, the ideas, just bloody AWESOME!

My brain hurts! The foul odor drifting down from the north over Israel is all the Syrian tankers who just wet themselves! Your modeling skills equal your impressive drawing skills.

Love the decals and, Steve, I didn't know you were Israeli.  Or is it some exchange program?

 :bow: Yeah! The decals turned out great!  :bow: Quite the tally you racked up there!  :lol:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Your whiff sir is damnably awesome. If you are not careful, you will find yourself beaten to death by envious sloths...

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Blummin' nora!  Wonderful build FAR. :wub:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
