Lovely to build, four different versions available as well, still practising my airbrushing so went for this camo scheme.

Very mean and purposeful looking but with all that lot attached it's a wonder it leaves the ground

Real classic kit Del although it's not a production version but an FDS frame. I remember building this in 1982 and listening to Girls on Film and was doing my first camo mottle effect with my new Badger which I still have today using canned air so squeezing off air was at a premium. I spent a lot of time filling and sanding as Tamiya kits of that time weren't as sophisticated. Turned out better than I expected.
Nicely airbrushed Del. Seam lines and joints are more prominent when an airbrush is used because of the thin coats. Watch out for these on your next aircraft build.

Got to love a warthog, great result.
That's an impressive looking beast Del, although it doesn't look like it should be able to fly, but as we know, it does.
