Art Scale 1:48 – A-10C rotary cannon flash suppressor (3D print) is a detail set replacing the muzzle of the seven-barrel cannon. It is not a kit: you have to have your own A-10C model from Academy.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is not an aircraft kit. It is a detail set from the manufacturer Art Scale in 1:48 scale, made by 3D printing in resin. According to the manufacturer it is an accurate replica of the cannon muzzle, and the set is intended for the A-10C kit from Academy (the abbreviation ACA in the name refers to this brand). The model itself is not included in the package.
The A-10 is the only combat aircraft that was literally built around its gun: the seven-barrel rotary weapon runs through the entire nose and the fuselage had to be arranged around it. The muzzles of the barrels and the flash suppressor in front of them are therefore the dominant feature of the whole nose and, seen from the front, the first thing you notice on the model. An injected plastic part is a compromise here by its very nature: the barrels tend to be blanked off, the edges are thicker than they should be, and the mold parting line runs right across the most sensitive place. 3D printing gives a sharp, thin-walled and accurate shape with the open barrels suggested, and that is a detail that simply cannot be made by injection molding or by casting.
The part is fitted in place of the plastic original from the kit. Resin does not bond with modeling cement for polystyrene: use cyanoacrylate glue or epoxy, which gives more time for accurate alignment. Before painting, wash the piece in water with detergent and let it dry, otherwise the paint will not hold on print resin residue. Do any sanding wet, as resin dust is harmful and must not be inhaled. A dark metal shade suits the finished part, completed with exhaust deposits and soot, since the muzzle of the A-10 cannon tends to be visibly dirty after firing.
An accessory to a kit, not a kit. It is supplied unpainted, and glue and paints are not included in the package.
