Still top-shelf work going in here- those resin engine upgrades really do look better.

Coming along nicely bimski.  I love the A-10.  At 1:48 it's big enough though...I can't imagine where you'll put something that big and beautiful.  Perhaps the driveway! =D

This will be a fun build to follow--I've always liked the A-10.

I now have a total of 11 1/32 scale jets ......this build will make it 12 plus 4 RC submarine (1/40 , 1/72 scale) and 5 RC cars (1/10,1/8 scale).... time to start making room in the garage ;)

Garage? I think you need a warehouse!Big Smile

gotcha - you are leaving it as a made-up what-if "C" 2 seater.

@Bronto most of my 32scale collection are 2 seater jet and always like the challenge of pimping a retired N/AW A10 into modern C version......(fictional build) ;)

Why would you convert the N/AW into an A-10C?  Why not start with the single seat A-10A kit?  Just curious how you are going to rebuild the front fuselage.

Just assigned this monster kit to one of my builders early this year, to be built OOB. Don't know where to put it once finished. To make things worse I also assigned him a Vosper MTB 1:35!

Cool stuff! I will definitely be watching this build. I remember when this kit came on the market over a decade ago, but have yet to see one built. Good Luck on it!

Going to start this year 2015 with another 32 scale build.......this time an A10 hog

the kit itself (fitting) is a nightmare ......a lot of dremel work is needed

Also added some of this after market parts for this build

first on the chopping board is the avenger gun
