Actually the variations in grey are due to an error in color selection. I initially used way too dark gray on upper surface and had to correct that by overspraying it with a lighter one. 🙂

For the record, toilet is from Brengun 1/48 resin & PE add-on kit. I was very happy with it's quality.

It looks great, awesome job. This one is definitely on my to do list.

That's great, I had to use a dolls house toilet for mine, good to see others with a sense of humour. Great job

Initially I too thought that I have to source the toilet from some odd corner of life but then I discovered that Brengun has this AM kit - with correct decals to boot.

I just noticed the toilet. Duh. Funny as the VC or NVA wouldn't know what it is. The Vietnamese used a hole in the floor with foot rest on each side. Good idea though. Gary

Gary, it really happened. It come from the expression "dropped everything except the dunny (kitchen sink change)" There is a photo of it

Beautiful work on that A1H,
A friend of mine built one with the toilet, so I one upped and built a A-10 with a kitchen sink on one rail

Back in the 70's, Vietnam was selling a lot of scrap "made in USA" metal to Japan. Somebody came up with the idea of strapping a Toyota to a B-52 bomb rack. Gary

They were a gritty, oily, and loud mouthed beast, and you have captured that image perfectly. Well done. 🙂 👍 Though the only thing missing is the oil stains from the huge radial on the belly tank. Just a thought. 🙂

Thanks. As to what comes to stains on fuel tank, I did not see those on ref pics of this particular incident so I did not add any. I may have been blind, though...

No, you were not blind, and my comment was just a loud thought, but these 'Spads' were redound for the oil leaks and stains, as there was a saying about the big P&W radials. If they were not leaking oil, there was something wrong. 🙂
But I do like what you have done here, a lot. 🙂 👍
Cheers. 👍
