Italeri A-10A Warthog 1/48

[Airfix Modeller Freak]

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..

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.

This is an excellent build!


Maybe as other say, is quite shiny...but not more!!!


You ask for honest comments...I will do mine. But is not a criticism, I think is more a "sensation" that I have looking the photos...maybe there are many paint over the model (coat)? You can try a bit of colour modulation next time (shadows/lights).


Anyway, I love your bases, they look magnificent


Great build!! I'm waiting for your next one

Thanks for the constructive comment Polux, I'll definitely will try to make a better build next time around.
