Swanny, That looks like a very cool project! Please share some pics as you progress. I really admire your work.

I think the A-10 is a good looking aircraft and many do not, so it works both ways I guess.

That looks like quite a nice kit there Swanny. We look forward to seeing you work your magic on it.

The He111 is one of my favorite Germany aircraft. I've never seen this version before. What strikes me is the lower gun position which apparently is lowered down during flight. It looks like it would be more at home on a zeppelin! Looks like an interesting project. Keep us updated!

Look at all the neat resin goodies that come with this, and the clear resin (yes, clear resin) pieces are not shown here.

This is really going to push the modeling skills right to the edge.

Nice one... I'm awaiting Italeri's new SM79 (1/72) and I had been thinking about a Spanish Civil War scheme...
