A-10 gpm 1/33

@ Texman – I almost always use ordinary 80g/m2 paper for the rolls. It was the case here.
There is a lot of work, today! 18 bombs and 8 rocket launchers. Yet again, the laser cut formers helped and the laser cut details add a bit of realism.

Such consistency. I envy you.

@rmks2000 – thanks I find the work on the ordnance a bit boring, but it is relatively easy. It not so hard to have consistent results.
With the CBU-52 cluster bombs and the Mavericks, the ordnance is completed. The pylons and multiple bomb racks will come next.

I have never seen so much finely crafted ordnance in one place.
Well done.

I agree with Bob...the consistency is amazing. Such clean work as usual.


P.S. I want to see pics of your Vickers Vimy!!

Looks like you are building it in a reverse order. External load first. I'm impressed.

Have fun

Thanks for the comments
@ Dan – I have published them elsewhere. Maybe at Kartonbau forum. I’ll try to find the link.
@ Isaac – You know that I tend to deal with the boring/easy tasks first

Strangely, the only formers for the multiple bomb racks are those two hexagonal parts that you can see in the first picture. There is a clear lack of gluing tabs. At least for me, and I added some. The actual bomb supports are part of the detail set. The small circles and the paper rolls are not included in the kit.

That is some great detail work, looking forward to more.

Very fine work Ricardo. Indeed, boring work, but I can imagine that when you're in a flow the bombs will be crafted in no-time. And now on to the "real" work?

Thanks, Doug and Erik Yes, the “real” work is approaching.
Today’s pictures show the ordnance pylons. Yet again, the laser cut formers spare much work. Some formers have thin sections that would be tricky to cut by other means.
