Warthog A10 - Apocahog Plane Model

The iconic A-10 Warthog, 

 

 

 

…reborn in a post-apocalyptic world, prowls the skies(in this case, tables) like a retro mechanical predator. Its battle-scarred fuselage is adorned with Mcgyvered mods, plasma-infused autocannons and laser-guided missile pods on its back replace traditional armaments, while its titanium wings bristle with triangular sensor arrays. 

 

This is no mere warplane—it’s a harbinger of high-tech destruction, slicing through the radioactive haze of a dying world. Print yours today!

 

 

With that nonsense description out of the way (:D), lets get down to brass tacks…

 

 

It takes 6 hours to print if using the kit method, 4 and a half to print in one piece. I expect no issues in printing it in once piece, although if using a bedslinger (A1 and A1mini for example) I would slow the print down manually about half way through, just in case. An xy shouldnt have any issues though. 

 

Take your time removing the supports from the wing, a couple of wiggles with pliers will release it, go from the tip of the wing, and work your way down.

 

 

Assembly is easy, insert the pins, give it a tap and some super glue and insert… gently!

 

 

Press together and voila. The underbelly looks a lil bad, but the top looks better:

 

 

Thats about it… oh, there is also a booster available you can print and glue on top, for that extra ooomph! In general, silk filament may not be the way to go here, a black matte would look better. Also, my filament is wet as a swamp, and i dont have a drier :S
