Pic's are in my photo Gallery. The kit turned out pretty good, but did have several trouble area's! Over all it was a good build. Realy it came out better then I thought it would, since my airbrush was down, and I ended up brush painting it by hand. Please feel free to comment.

Many oinks mates,

Garry....Pig 117

Congrats Garry -- I believe you are the second pig to finish your model for "Da Pig in Da Pile Build" ---- (I think Toad's Wart"hog" might have snuck in first).

Any chance of posting a link to your pics from this thread so we can all drool right here? (hehe)

Well done Garry and thanks for participating in the build.

Steve

If Garry doesn't mind, here are four pics of his A-20J. A great job on this kit, Garry. I know this kit, and think it's a tough build.









Cheers,
Mike

Thanks for the complements pete! And Shirley is doing quite well, a little weak and she has to take things slower. But it is looking good for her.

Best Regards,

Garry

Howdy Garry,

(and Yes fellas....I am posting in the 'Pig' (?) area once again).

Nice job on the 'thing with wings' amigo! Personally I think you are holding out on us all. Almost like a politician you apparently have your drippy little fingers in many camps my friend. And I must say, you are doing a superb job of it! (maybe you should consider running for a political office ).
Aside from the 'factory fresh' look of the beastie, I'd say she's a 'beaut!'

Tread.

Hello Treadster,
And no, I am no dang politition! LOL! Thanks for the complements bud. This was the first aircraft I have built in a long time, and it was fun! The idea of the build was to have all members list all the kits in there stash, then the other members vote on what kit you are going to build. Its been fun that way, But man, I'm glad they did'nt pic my 1/350 Missouri!
That would have taken me two years to build.

Cheerio mate,

Garry
