Chris’ 12-year-old son picked an Academy 1/48 scale A-10C Warthog for his dad to build, and also chose the Osan Air Base markings for it, too. A Quinta cockpit, Mini Craft Collection seat and fans, and a weapons loadout courtesy of Eduard and Reskit round out this monster build. Chris painted his A-10 with Gunze Sangyo lacquers and used Uschi van der Rosten photo-etched metal stencils to create mottling to suggest wear and tear.
