This kit was given to my son as a
present for his 8th birthday. I think I was as excited about the kit as he was.
I did some researching & found the reviews for this kit saying that
this ESCI kit is the "worst of all the available 1/48 A-10
kits". Oh well, it will be interesting to see how it turns
out.

So I offered to my son the options
of either solid grey or camo & he picks camo. Oh boy!, this would be my 1st
attempt at a camo paint scheme. I left the dark grey out & just went with
the 2 tone green using Model Master's dark green & medium green. I thinned
the paint using Acetone.

To add weight in the nose, I
poured BB's & white glue into the ammo drum.

for the gloss coating, then the decals to be applied |
I used my judgement on the
pay-loads. The figure for the cockpit was given to me from a friend.
Overall I think the kit turned out really good. My son thinks it's the greatest
model we have yet to put together, so that says it all there.
