Old ERTL A-10 Build 1:48

I built that kit, many moons ago...almost 20 years! I really don't remember much about it, other than it was an A-10. I had the AMT/ERTL box that included some figs and ground equipment.

As for the Trumpy A-10....yup...it's huge!

It is not without issues though. Nothing really major, that some filling/sanding can't handle though. I would recommend getting the Squadron vacform canopy...that will give you a corrected piece for just a few bucks (kit canopy is mis-shapen). They give you TONS of ordnance, but it leaves a lot to be desired (shape and detail wise)...I used left overs from Academy's F-18 kit.

 

My dad built that kit in the mid 80's. As I recall, it had the ejection seat from the prototype instead of the ACES seat. He built it off pics from a mid 70's "Air Combat" article. Still looks pretty good, I will have to get a pic of it.

And I STILL have that kit. Got started on it back in the 2000's, as I recall; I suppose I should get around to finishing it this decade . . . .

And, yes, I have the '90's "Action Scene" version, with the dark green plastic and the tarmac "base".
