BTW: did you try a 25th anniv fig in the cockpit yet? I haven't....as was wondering how they fit. I’m planning to use the 25th Wild Weasel as the pilot for this rig. The only opened 25th fig I have is a pre-articulation fix Firefly and he won’t sit properly (all of my other 25th stuff is sealed). The cockpit is rather roomy in this thing so I imagine a new fig will fit fine if the movement thing is fixed. |

Damn! Nice custom! I'm in the middle of making one of these bad boys myself, but I'm working on making a custom gun turrent like the original. I know what you mean about the textured area, I had to sand down the plane and primer it over again. Seeing yours, I wished I had the time to finish mine! HA

D'OH GRRRRR BAH BLAH GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
You totally beat my to this. I bought the plane months ago with this plan, even have the ruben decals in reserve... But damn fine job anyway. Email a pic to marauder John when you're done, he will love to see "what might have been" if his custom blue version of this jet had been made.

That is a beauty!!!
Is that the 'somewhat' 1/18 Elite Operations T-bolt that is sold at ToyRus? The scale is a vast improvement from the Hasbro Rattler, but not as accurate as BBI's Elite Force. Nevertheless, A-10's are awesome. It looks great in that deep blue. If I see another one I might have to go that route. I was going to repaint mine to be TF Movie accurate. I'm thinking of making a Army vs Scorponok DIO. RIght now Iron Man is flying above my Warthog. |

Looks great so far.
Were you able to get the winged Cobra stickers? Those would look awesome on the fuselage and wings. Just a couple minor suggestions: Paint the trim on the cockpit to add realism. See if you can round up some ordinance from the original Rattler on eBay and find a good way to mount some heavies to the belly of that beast. Can't wait to see her with her pilot Wild Weasel in the cockpit! |
