Hasegawa 1/72 A-10C Thunderbolt II 190EFS Skullbangers - Collector Model

The Hasegawa 1/72 A-10C kit recreates the Thunderbolt II in a compact, display-friendly scale. The Skullbangers decals accompany the kit and the moulded parts present defined surfaces and control detail suited to accurate finish work.

Historical Context

How long does the typical build take?

Build time varies by experience, but allow several evenings for careful assembly and painting. Rushing small parts can lead to fit issues.

Can I weather this model to look operational?

Yes, light weathering with washes and dry brushing enhances realism. Focus on exhaust streaks and subtle panel grime for a used appearance.

Are alternative decals or markings available?

Aftermarket decal sheets may offer different squadron markings. Check specialist suppliers for alternate liveries if you want a non-standard finish.

Is daylight saving or display lighting recommended when photographing finished models?

Use soft, diffused lighting to capture surface detail without harsh shadows. A neutral background and steady camera will showcase paintwork and decals clearly.
