A-10 seaplane fighter

I like the idea of the red star treatment! If you find yourself in an alternate situation whilst winging it, consider something South American.

Soviet sounds good, maybe a scheme like the Yak-38 used?

Blue top and green underside? Would look very good IMO.

Well a little mojo has returned to this project! I attached some fiddly bits and cockpit stuff. I made an IRST for in front of the cockpit instead of the Pave Penny pod. I managed to loose the Maverick missile rails so I'm waiting for a new Hasegawa weapons set to arrive to steal some from. I'll post some pics when there is a little more to show.

This is good news that this project starts again

Any progress is good progress!

Thanks!
I'm still trying to decide a paint scheme. I'm leaning towards a Marines Skyhawks or Harrier type.

YEAH!!! Nice!! Happy to see you back at this!

I was looking in a Fujimi Skyhawks kit for an AAR probe to steal and I found decals including VMF-214 Blacksheep squadron! I believe a problem is solved! Might have to change the colors a little.

What's going on?

kerick · January 24, 2022, 11:07:32 PM

Oh, I'm stuck at the can't make up my mind painting stage. I pretty much know what I want so just need to do it. I just completed a paint booth so that excuse is gone. It will happen soon.

I want to get the whopper chopper done for the gunships group build so maybe next month.

MiB; thanks for asking!

There is strange and then theres this thing.
I freakin love it ..the A 10 is a big fav of mine and anything with a GAU 8A 30mm Avenger rotary cannon is a goodin and to make a sea plane from one is brilliant.
I would have thought the 3 tone gray camo the A10 used would have worked great with is being a sea plane.

kerick · January 25, 2022, 08:01:15 AM

I'm pretty sure I'm going to use the three tone Harrier scheme. I think it's going to look pretty good.
