I have a question on the primer coat that would have been on the A-10 Thunderbolt.
Should I post in the aircraft forum?
I cannot find the picture now, but I thought I saw a picture of an A-10 with paint chipping off, and the base color appeared to be a color like zinc chromate yellow (I know zinc chromate is not really a color, but you know what I mean). Does anyone know if this is accurate, or was I dreaming?

These pictures here do in fact show that funny color green as a primer!
Also wondering about the door in the side of the fuselage where the ladder fits. From what I can tell from the model instructions, it opens down, but the molding makes it look as though there is a hinge that would mean it swings out, rather than down.
Thanks for any help.
