The Warthog/Thunderbolt looks SOOOO good in gray. Many aircraft cannot say the same!

Spent about four hours doing the decals today. It might be easier to say where you can step instead of no step. Happily I didn't destroy any of them.View attachment 182583

All done. Probably my favorite build.View attachment 183584View attachment 183585View attachment 183586View attachment 183587View attachment 183588View attachment 183589View attachment 183590View attachment 183591View attachment 183600

Looks great! I've got a 1/72 kit in my stash waiting.

Most pictures I've found the plane is pretty clean. A little grimy in some so that's what I went with.

I think this picture ^^^ answers the question about the pod, dark grey.

But, I agree with you on keeping it moderate. You can go too far very easily, and not doing any makes it look like a die-cast toy. I like what you did.

We have different definitions of "little"

Like, a little:
...dust
...dirt
...grime
...grease
...smoke
...mud wrestling!

I like the two boomer "oopsies" when they slightly missed the refueling receptacle and crunched the nose!

Man that thing is filthy. I didn't come across anything that filthy. Makes me wish I put some more filth on mine.
