I like the paint job, especially on the A-10 - is this using your previous airbrush or spray can? Glossy but looks good. You could still rectify the glossiness by masking the canopies and giving the entire model a dullcoat.

Nice A-10,you can use a clear sprue stand at the tail end to make it balance.

Thanks! That is my ultimate prob with this kit. Ayaw tumayo in all gears! Laging nakalift off!

nice clean buit pare! same comments with the other guys, medyo makintab nga. about the problem with weight distribution para tumayo ng husto, i also encountered this problem with my F15, what i did was nilagyan ko ng pabigat sa nose yung AC para mabalance

No wonder that A-10 looked it was taking off. I thought you intended that.

Re: what Crismag said, you add the weight inside the nose prior to assembly, SR. Something with enough mass in a small unit, e.g. lead balls, etc. If not placed, this can still be rectified by adding a clear sprue at the tail to support the plane as mentioned before - but it's more realistic to add more weight to the nose or at least the forward part of the fuselage.

Salamat! BTW, what material should I use? Nakasulat sa manual na weigh but I don't know what to use. If I use ball bearings, chances are, makalog creating noise. Naisip ko rin na lang yan sya ng putty but putty is not heavy enough. Nalaman ko lang na unbalanced sya after putting in the gears! No wonder na hindi ko napansin because the whole kit is standing in its body before the gears were put up.

What I do (or did because I'm still hooked on armor) is tape the cockpit and the two halves of the fuselage together then tape on most of the heavy parts in their correct positions (tail, wings, engines, etc). I then lift the whole wobbly mess by placing a finger directly under the spot where the main landing gear should be. If the plane tilts backwards then it's a tail sitter.

I began using soldering wire to weigh the nose down when my dad suggested it to me. It's soft, heavy, and commonly available at most corner hardware stores. I used to use coins taped and glued together. My Academy 1/72 Warthog has 1.50 pesos worth of 25 centavo coins right behind the ejection seat.

Better yet, glue the model on a base (either just a plane wooden base, or "decorate" said base to simulate a tarmac). This not only solves the tail-heavy appearance, but also facilitates better handling on the finished model, since you handle it by holding the base, not the model, thereby reducing the likelihood that it will be damaged.

Re:rattling sound and ball bearings, the rattling sound is something that can be tolerated or left alone. However, if you don't like it, glue the ball bearings with superglue or, when placed in the nose, fill the nose with clay (any kind - playdough, model clay, or even wet milliput).

Thanks! Got a better idea! The next prob will be where the hell will I put the dio? I don't have enough space anymore! :-)

It need not be large, SR. Nor it need be a dio. A simple base with a name plate on it would do. A base around half-an-inch larger than the model would be sufficient IMO. The name plate would be a nice touch also. :-)

:-) SR I'm using lead sinker for fishing it comes in different sizes & weights, its good for adding wieghts for the model, just put epoxy at yan talaga problema ng A-10, at lagay mo lang sa likod ng ejection seat kung pwede pang alisin.
