Cool B)
very!
crikey there's some good ideas in there... :wub:
oh I really like this one. I have a Tamiya A-10 at home that I was thinking about painting up in Philippine AF markings like those found on their OV-10s.
Nice ideas.
I've already done a 1/72nd US Forestry Commision Fire Bomber in white/Orange in 1/72nd scale.
:P
One of us (dear Aircav himself? I don't remember sorry) drew a project of Twin-A-10 that was great! :wub:
In plastic, it would be even better... :wub:

Actually, from what the folks who do firebomber modifications (Aero Union?) told me some five years ago when I was interviewing for an engineering job there (the company that developed the Firehawk conversion for the H-60/S-70), the A-10 needs a definite engine upgrade before it's fully suitable for that role.

Yes Tophe that was me, must built it some day ;) :D
Several interesting ideas there; the JMSDF one caught my eye, and the early USN A-10N. I've long wanted to do a carrier-borne version - it'll need tanks for range, then Mavericks, rockets, maybe a pair of homing torps, to whomp boghammers and missile boats. It'll need a second seat for the weapons officer, of course... :wub: B) :ar:

Where could the conformal tanks go?
Big Hump Back? Call it the Sea Hog?
:P
I also bought a part-started Monogram A-10 a few years ago, that I proceede to put together.....had a brain-fart and forgot to put weight in the nose. Added the fron doors in the closed position, plus a bit of filler.....then twin tail wheels from the spares box. All over Dark Sea Blue Gloss and RNZAF markings (a la WW2 style), for a Goodyear A3G "Dragon" based in China during the continued Civil War, 1958.
Still around upstairs.
:P
I've been thinking of a specialized derivative of a navalized two-seat A-10, one with the gun removed and as large a radar as possible installed to allow it to operate primarily in the "missileer" role.
