So clean and detailed! And it´s 1/72 !

Great work on the smaller GWH version 👍
I should have read your tip about cutting the decals on the nose in pieces sooner. That was also true for my larger version.
Did you fix the problem with the counter-rotating engine blades?

@Neuling Thank you, sir! Building this kit was a real joy.

@bughunter Thank you, sir! I checked your build and can't wait to see her when finished. For the nose decals, yes, it was a real pain when I realized. Btw, I managed to pull the decal off before it dried and cut it into multiple pieces before trying again. About the engine blades, unfortunately, I didn't make any corrections. I also noticed that and informed her owner, but he decided to go with it. I have my own hog lying up too; that bird will be corrected since I'm planning to use aftermarket parts.

At least the rotations are not visible on your pictures 😉
With two kits you could have cross changed one blade between the models. On one model they rotate then in the wrong direction, but at least the rotation would be the same on both engines.
Yes, the GWH decals are nicely printed and great to work with. On my kit the grey should only be printed a bit darker.

"With two kits you could have cross changed one blade between the models" oh my! I didn't even think about it.

Your two tones Hog is so catchy, I want to build one too but let's finish my conventional scheme first. Two Bobs offers decals of that dark Hog in 1/72. I'll get one. 😊

Extraordinary work on that hog, really aresome. 👍
This being built out of the box, it's another proof that a proper paint job is more important than hundreds of detailing parts being messed up after painting. 😉
Thanks for sharing, cannot wait to have my hog on my workbench (though it's gonna be a A-10A...)

Excellent! 👍

Mr James
Beautifully done

@Thorsten Höse Thank you, sir. I totally agreed with you. By the way, sometimes I decide to go with tons of aftermarket parts for a challenging build. That's why I always define my builds as "OOB" or "Hi-Specs". This kit is excellent straight out of the box. You will be happy with your A Hog, I'm sure😉

@Shar Dipree @Tibor Szilvai @Mr James Thank you for your kind words 👍

Amazing stuff.

Excellent!

@ Nate: Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of good detail sets! 😉
But with every additional detail set implemented to the build the challenges are raising to keep up with the painting. And sometimes it is as you've proven with your build: It's not always necessary to add tons of aftermarket sets to get a stunning result!

Clement
Beautiful work and photography, well done.

@Thorsten Höse, I checked your profile and found interesting stuff out there. I totally agreed, as I've faced those problems myself while I was building my F-16. I'm trying to step up with those detail sets, but my experience is a big obstacle. However, I see it as a learning curve, and it's going to be better through time, I guess. 👍

@Gergő S @Mark K @Clement Thank you all 😊

Superb !
