Academy A-10C 7th FS Flying Tigers 1/48 Scale Model Kit

Academy A-10C 7th FS Flying Tigers 1/48 Scale Model Kit brings A-10C 7th FS Flying Tigers to your workbench in 1/48 scale. The Tiger I subject puts the emphasis on the turret, boxy hull and overlapping running gear.

Planning the build

Plan the assembly and painting sequence around the wheels and tracks. Keep the tracks aligned with the sprockets before adding mud and dust.

Working in 1/48 scale

This scale gives you space for cockpit and exterior painting while keeping many aircraft manageable on a display shelf. Think through the color and sheen of enclosed details before closing up the airframe. Check the particular subject’s size against the space you have, especially for helicopters and twin-engine aircraft.

Painting and markings

Choose the marking option in the instructions before selecting colors. Test the primer and base color on a spare piece, then compare any panel wash or highlight against that sample. Plan masks for glazing and sharp color boundaries before the final assembly makes access more difficult.
