A-10C cockpit.
Posted by Jess on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 1:45 PM

Hello everyone,

I am kinda new to this part of the modeling community; but here it goes anyways. This is probably a subject that has been discussed before, however I wanted to see if there are any new happenings. Does anyone know if there has been a  A-10c cockpit or know of one being produced for the Italeri kit? Even just a photo-etch detail set would make me happy. I am desperate for any clues on this subject. As much as I love the A models I love the C's more. I am also considering just scratch-building something so if anyone has any tips on that; I would be greatly appreciative.

Thank you and yes and no. I may try to get for my A-10a but it's still not a C pit.

Does it really matter with seats? LOL! Just saying...

Personally, I don't think there's a difference which seats you use.

You might get more and better responses from the Aircraft forum.

Well it's not the seats that are bugging me, but not having the mfd displays and cdu panel on the right side.

Jess, I too have been looking high and low for an updated cockpit for the A-10C from Italeri.  I recently purchased the Blacksnakes kit and was disappointed at how they call it an A-10C; however, the cockpit is for an A-10A.  I did see somewhere that someone had scratchbuilt one, but that is a tedious process and I believe the one I saw was 1/32 scale.

On the Bench:  Lots of unfinished projects!  Smile

Hey jelliott, yeah I have the same kit hoping it was an A-10c too but it's just a re-boxed A with a few new antennas. Yeah I came across that a few nights ago but it was for the bigger scale a-10's. I also came across where someone used photo-etched mfd and scratch built them in place which is most likely what I'm going to do. If you come across anything let me know, but at this point looks like I'll have to build my own instrument panel.
