1977 first A-10 kit released

With all the talk about A-10 kits I thought this may be of interest…

Hard for me to believe the Hog is that old. It’s true though, I remember seeing them playing around the ranges at Ft. Campbell when I was surveying in that area in the late 1970’s / early 1980’s.

Hey Dice;
the page is a little blurred but is that the 1/72 Monogram A-10 kit?

I’ve got some shots of the first production A-10 as it made its was across the country with an A-37. Quite a size difference.

By all means post some…would that be the first production aircraft or the first of the 6 pre-production?
