In case some of you don’t get over to the GB forum, here’s my second entry in the A-10 what if GB.
I decided to make a Super Hog. Hogzilla was offered up as a name and it stuck.[:D] Here it is through the development stages up to this point.[:)]
Eddie
that is going to be one hell of a wicked looking machine!

Cool, but i’m thinking you would be stunned by the noise form the two GAU-8’s though, [:)] who cares though thats some serious firepower ands looking pretty good. What are you going to put under the wings?? Mavericks, 82’s ??

LOL…mate, I’ve said it before…you’ve completely lost the plot.
I love it…what a concept…I’m still laughing…I really want to see this one finished.
Please keep us posted on further developments.
Thanks, man.
MMMMM twin GAU-8s…love it.

Oh my god! Can you imagine what the Soviet tankers would have thought when that thing rolled in to attack!
I haven’t decided yet, but I do have 10 hard points now, plus in the centerline[:D][:-,] Not too long ago, my wife filled out a raffle ticket for herself and me and a I won a Bose wave radio/CD player, so I have been jammin’ out during this build. Tonight’s selection included ; Godsmack-4; WASP-Unholy Terror; Van Halen-Women and Childern First and The Cult-Sonic Temple.[8D][party] I’m havin’ a good time!
Here’s tonight’s progress…
Eddie
Love the concept eddie,you would need 4 engines on this baby to keep her in the air when they let
rip[}:)] with those bad boys up front …p.s love the music i had a van halen on the other day… …
ah took me back mick [8-]
Eddie, Lookin’ good!![:D] Here’s some “food fer thought” I’m sure you’ll enjoy[dinner]
Eddie, do these ideas come to you in a dream [|)] [}:)] or is your brain [zzz] always looking for something different? [swg]
I’m always looking to do things a bit different.[:D] To be honest, I have just about all the real world models that I have space for. Also, kitbashing improves my methods and problem solving abilities. Plus, there’s no way I can hold a candle to all the fine builders here, so I try to come up with something unique and all my own. A double take from the casual observer is always a bonus.[swg]
Eddie
That is really cool Eddie! I wonder how much it would slow the plane down firing both guns at once? I mean, that is some serious firepower!!! Very nice, can’t wait to see the finished result [tup]
reminds me of the IL-62
If your thinking of music to model by why note try:-
Hendrix— Machine Gun
Led Zep— No Quarter
and at a pinch Meatloaf — Bat out of hell.
I`m afraid your model breaks all the rules, and defies most conceptual arguments in aerospace design, (and proberbly a few Geneva Conventions) but I LIKE IT ! It follows that old saying “if it looks right it usually is”
Keep us posted on progress please
Wow! Going “whole hog” with this one! Heh, heh. Like your concept!
Thank you guys for the encouraging words. I’m glad y’all like it.[:D] I got the gun drum sponsons on tonight, and as per a very good suggestion, will be designing a FLIR for the nose. Thanks for the idea!
Tonight I listened to RUSH-Hemispheres, Iron Maiden-Number of the Beast, Dio-Strange Highways and Motley Crue’s 1994 self titled album( the best one as far as I’m concerned[;)][:)])
Once again, thanks for the kind words Gents!
Eddie
Good models and good tunes[:D] Whats not to like!!![tup]
The Ferg suggested a FLIR and laser designator for this project, so I thought I’d give it a try. Here are the results.[:)]
Eddie
…and now, the guns…[:-,][swg]
Eddie
With the cheek guns, I reminds me of a set of tusks. You are going to have to paint a hog face on the nose with the guns being its tusks.
