A little late start but here we go! It’s a Hasegawa A-10C Thunderbolt II in 1:72 scale. Merry Christmas from South Carolina, USA!

That's come together really quickly - love the A-10!

Looking forward to seeing how you move it along

Leaving these “NO STEP” stencils off. They are way too big!

Calling this one done! I’m leaving the ordnance off for now. I tried to use a clay wash on it but the kit has raised panel lines and I guess it just didn’t stick well.

The end result looks like the jet was in a dust storm.
