My favorite plane, outstanding builds. I recently just finished one.... that I'm now gonna throw out.

 

Dude, I've had a few of those too, especially compaired to this pair. they are now at the top of my bookself covered in dust lol. 

Thanks for all the compliments Now that I have a little more time, Some more info on these birds. The Revell (camo) is a stock out of the box build with the exception of the decals and the weapons and the seat and the nose gun. That one was the first full airbrush camo paint job That I have ever done. The base is just a piece of 3/4 plywood with a piece of Kitchen tile that cost 76 cents from Home Depot, After my boss received his as a gift he asked me to build the second one for his son's unit, he bought all the supplies and I did the build. The Italeri (grey) was my second attempt at preshading the first being a Hasegawa A-7 that is on the back burner so I could finish this one. After some research on what units he worked with and the normal weapons load out I got it finished a couple of days ago, the I really like the Italeri Kit however the engine fans need replace I used quickboost engine fans, hasegawa weapons and aftermarket decals. The base is again plywood with a kitchen tile from Home Depot. The patches were supplied by My bosses son. He had a glass case made for it and is hand delivering it this week I should have some pictures of it on display next week. It was a blast building these two, now on to my builds

Very cool !!

Very nice!

I don't know what it is about A-10's, but to me, they just look great as scale models. Especially when they are well-built, as yours are.
