Italeri A-10A Warthog 1/48

[Guest]

Well, since you ask for honest feedback, I'm going to be brutal... This is fantastic, Leo. I couldn't get a result anywhere near as good, and the base and 'outside' detail really set it off nicely.

[Guest]

Fantastic Leo, as has been mentioned just the gloss finish that would need sorting, beautiful.

Awesome job Leo, just a flatter finish would have suited the A-10 but otherwise very nicely done.

Great build and diorama.

[Guest]

Actually I quite like the shine but it is a personal thing. Very nice model Leo and very nicely detailed paintwork.


Like the little scene as well gives scale and a sense of things happening.


Think the only improvement I would say is the photographic side. Realise it is for effect the subdued light but perhaps a couple or so of the photos lightened a lot to show the detail work you have achieved Leo. Seems a shame not to show your craftsmanship and creativity.

Good job Leo. Always liked the looks of the A-10a. It looks quite chunky, but lethal. Nice job.

A good build of a mean & nasty looking machine, but as others have said a bit to shiny..

[Guest]

Thanks for the advice and suggestions lads. Greatly appreciated

Hello Leo,


Very clean build, painting and weathering.


My personal though, may not apply to others:


- too clean for a dio, especially the ladder to the cockpit


- too shiny, especially for a warthog


Great job!

Great job Leo ,I love the A10 and especially in the Euro 1 'Lizard' scheme. The only thing I can see is the glossiness of the finish . As others have said its quite shiny , and this particular camo was very matt, doesnt detract from a great build though , cheers tony

Really great result. As others have said, I would consider a Matt coat of varnish, just to finish off an already great build.

That is a cracking build and I love the Gau 8 avenger (,almost half the length of the A10. I remember a documentary on the warthog and they said to build the aircraft they started with the gun and built the plane around it!!


I like your shading and choice of camo as most Thunferbolts you see are shades of greys and blues


Never built is kit but looks a fun build


Well done

Thanks Scott, yes that was the resin engine included in the Italeri A-10 detail set.
