This is the Tamiya A-10A in 1:48 scale. Needless to say it will be a large kit when finished. I have picked up decals for RAF Bentwaters in England. It arrived in theater in 1977. I also have picked up several aftermarket parts for it.

The Tamiya Cockpit was very disappointing so I picked up a resin cockpit for the model, only catch being the cockpit is for the Monogram model, so there will be some slice and dice to get it to fit.
