Republic A-10A Thunderbolt II - Revell [1/72]

Completed 31 May 2007

Proposed scheme - Desert Storm using Hi-decal #72-010 and Aires Cockpit #7050.

In progress shots.

After preshading, I started spraying the camouflage. First was Humbrol #117 (FS34102).

Next was Humbrol 32 (FS36081)

16 May 2007

Last main colour was Humbrol #149 (FS34092) , then the tips of the tail were masked and Humbrol #60 applied. After curing, a Klear coat was applied in preparation for decalling.

21 May 2007

Decals applied and sealed with a Klear coat.

A bit of a disaster with the decals and finishing.
The decals, although they looked OK in the above shots, on application of the sealing coat, silvered.
The Pollyscale Flat coat turned white and I couldn't remove it, so I sprayed over it with Humbrol Matt Cote and 4 days later it is still tacky.

Here is the final result - not one of my best but an enjoyable build up until near the end.
