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.
The airplane is beginning to look like an
A-10
I gave it the camo it was first using
when it showed up in Europe in 1977 at RAF Bentwaters.
Cleaned up the paintjob, touched
updetails, painted on the chaff, flare dispencers and put on decals.
