A-10- Thunderbolt-"WartHog"
Posted by Tanker-Builder on Tuesday, November 10, 2020 11:18 AM

Here's one for you.

        Found a plane in my Old stash Section. It was done by,"Gasp" AMT/ErtL Now here's the funny part.The instructions were in English and French!The Customer service address was in France. Shade of " Heller"

        Anyway, the airplane,althugh it has bombs and rockets out the waxoois not that good. The way the gun was molded, even if you are careful cutting it off the sprue, has then, No Detail on thre ends of the barrels!

        The Canopy Frame ( for the opening part ) is not evident, nor, is there a good way to seperate the parts for an open Canopy anyway! Decals are toast!

       I am going to buy some new ones and Open that Canopy where it should be.

That kit was originally an ESCI release and is almost as old as the aircraft itself. I imagine that the English & French instructions are for release in Canada, as well as the USA.

Have fun with the old beastie!  

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...
