Hey Shin,
Thanks for the comments! It means a lot, all of you. This place has some serious customizers, so it's nice to get some feedback. The paint I used was Krylon Fusion Navy paint. The black parts are painted in Krylon Fusion flat black. The Engines were painted in Krylon Fusion Gray. I painted the ship in the patriotic blue first, and it looked way to light. Luckily, i found the navy color and it looks perfect now. Let the paint cure before you put it together. You can handle it within 15 minutes, and you can do other painting in the meantime, but give it the full 7 days (168 full hours) to bond with the plastic. I got anxious and put it together soon and the front landing gear bay got its paint scraped off the sides. When you put it back together be careful with the seat screws. I accidentally stripped one out and the front landing gear now is a bit loose. The seat is what holds the landing gear door in place, so be careful. I want to get another A-10 and do it all again knowing what i know now. I think it would turn out much better. I'll try and get some detailed pictures up.

I am kicking myself because I saw these a few times at TRU and kept thinking I would buy one "next time". Now I can't find one at all.

Are they paying you any for their advertisement of Cookie Crisp Cereal?

This is a really nice Rattler.
I also like the bowl of Cookie Crisp! It makes me realize that I am not the only nostalgic person on this forum. GI Joe plus Cookie Crisp = memories Heck, all you need now is an episode of "Bravestarr" or "Transformers" on in the background, and you are all set! |

Cool custom, Now I'm hungry for cookie crisps, and I'm breaking out my Fort Kerium Ninja Ku, so know you are not alone being a Bravestar fan myself!
