[@RestorationAustralia]

Looks cool well done.

[@AScalePlasticModels]

I am glad you like it, thank you.

Nice work! However, the Hog doesn't carry 2 ECM pods ( AN/ALQ-184) - it only requires one. The opposite pylon usually carries 2 x Aim 9's. ;)

[@AScalePlasticModels]

Thanks for information 👋

[@mehmetbldrcn5125]

Absolutely promising mate keep going

[@AScalePlasticModels]

Thank you, my friend... 🙂🙏

Nice job. I think You have noticed that the USAF emblem on the left wing it's upside down.

[@AScalePlasticModels]

Unfortunately i noticed 👍🤭🤫😁

[@VonDrinkoften]

Very nicely done mate

[@AScalePlasticModels]

Thank you very much👍

[@michael-4681]

Very nice work! How did you achieve the black shadow along panel lines? Is that pre shadowing or airbrushed after the camouflage colors?

[@AScalePlasticModels]

@@michael-4681 Thanks. I applied post-shading with airbrush. I mixed too much thinner into too little paint.

[@llenoir_]

Waw amazing job 🙌❤ just one question cause I'm doing exactly the same model right now ahah : I wonder if u could tell me how you did your weathering (which oils etc etc) thanks mate 😀

[@AScalePlasticModels]

Thank you mate. I used tamiya panel line black in this model. I applied post-shading. I did not use oil paints. Good luck with 👍🙂

[@llenoir_]

@@AScalePlasticModels oh ok great thank you so much mate for your answer (and really quick ahah) 👌🏻 keep going 💪🏻❤

[@centerspike6463]

Decal on left wing is upside down. Otherwise great job.

[@AScalePlasticModels]

👍

[@Henrywinswars]

Quick question about the kit. On step 1 it says dont glue. I dont see why? Can you glue it

[@AScalePlasticModels]

In plastic kits, a do not paste warning is given for moving parts. The piece you mentioned is for the canopy to be retractable.

[@paulalderson6920]

What does the swirling faint white lines do initially?

[@AScalePlasticModels]

For the hue difference of the color on the surface. But there are more detailed and better methods for this.

[@D4RK-R3ALITY]

What’s the purpose of tamiya mark fit?

[@AScalePlasticModels]

When this solution is used, the decals soften and hold onto the surface better.

[@theophilhist6455]

What took longer....build the general plane...or do the ordinance ? Man that's a lot of "boom" under those wings. Perfect example of ugly beauty. You did the build very well.

[@AScalePlasticModels]

Thank you very much 😉

[@EDX2308]

Great subject but it wasn't a very good kit from Tamiya. I'm hoping for a new 1/48 done by Tamiya or Hasegawa soon... By the way well done on your model!

[@AScalePlasticModels]

I agree with you. Thank you.
