So I think I got spoiled by the simplicity of armor and have to reapproach this build in a more thought out matter.
I don't want to say armor is easy but realistically compared to this aircraft kit quality aside aircraft models are a lot more complex when it comes to paint and sub assemblies.
Tonight I started to tinker with the A-10 kit but quickly realized my standard approach was gonna need to be modified, their are alot of parts that painting would simplified if they were painted in sub sections. Im also having issues with panel lines, they are very delicate and I've accidentally sanded some lines off and had to rescribe them.
I was having issues with the airbrush again still haven't worked out the vellejo paints and when I can get them to spray they clogg up my airbrushes and require them to be pretty much torn down and deep cleaned. So I didn't get much done at all but tomorrow is another day.
