Jim and Andy, thanks for your kind comments on the build!

Beautiful build, really great job! Love the look of the A-10...whether on the ground or in the air, it just looks like it will kick your A$$! Thanks for sharing!

Nice model! I've always loved the A-10.

You're welcome, lawdog114. Thanks for your kind words.

Gamera, your mistake is understandable because it usually took Nipon a year or two at a time to show up. Thanks for your kind compliments on his earlier works.

BK, thanks for your generous words.

That is one spectacular A-10. Simply awesome craftsmanship.

Ah, my mistake, I think I didn't notice him before since I'm more familar with your armour and figures. My apologies. I looked though some of his stuff you linked and that's some really sharp fine work on both the aircraft and the PT boat. 

Toshi, thanks for your kind compliments! "Nipon" has done a great job on this plane.

Mike, thanks for your kind words!

Jay Jay, thanks for your kind compliments! This was done truely OOB.

Gamera, thanks for your nice words. Yes this one is huge - measuring over 50cm both length and wingspan. So big that there's no display case big enough to host it. "Nipon" is not a new builder. He's been working for me since he had no kid but now his son is 11 years old, though I formerly spelled his name as "Niphon". He remains one of six active builders and now he's working on USS Arizona BB-39 1941 1:200. His outstanding works in the past included these (see if you remember them):

Oh wow, that's gotta be huge. And nice work there! Is Nipon a new builder or did I just not notice his name before? In any case you should hang on to this guy, he does some nice work. 

WOW That A-10 is bloody outstanding .  Is this pretty much OOB ?

Fantastic! Love it all.  :)

OH WOW!  That is one beautiful A-10.  You did a fantastic, highly detailed build.

Toshi
