Going to start this year 2015 with another 32 scale build…this time an A10 hog
the kit itself (fitting) is a nightmare …a lot of dremel work is needed
Also added some of this after market parts for this build
first on the chopping board is the avenger gun
Cool stuff! I will definitely be watching this build. I remember when this kit came on the market over a decade ago, but have yet to see one built. Good Luck on it!
Just assigned this monster kit to one of my builders early this year, to be built OOB. Don’t know where to put it once finished. To make things worse I also assigned him a Vosper MTB 1:35!
I now have a total of 11 1/32 scale jets …this build will make it 12 plus 4 RC submarine (1/40 , 1/72 scale) and 5 RC cars (1/10,1/8 scale)… time to start making room in the garage 
Can’t wait to see what you do with this kit, Bimski.
Why would you convert the N/AW into an A-10C? Why not start with the single seat A-10A kit? Just curious how you are going to rebuild the front fuselage.
@Bronto most of my 32scale collection are 2 seater jet and always like the challenge of pimping a retired N/AW A10 into modern C version…(fictional build)
gotcha - you are leaving it as a made-up what-if “C” 2 seater.
That cannon looks fantastic. I’ll be watching this one…

Thanks gents …was thinking of applying some PE parts on the GAU8 ,but only the front tip will be seen once the 2 main frame is glued together
more progress…
PE parts was added to form the rib
a big gap on the front wheel well had to be mend using CA
styrene was added to correct the gun front vent
lines was also corrected
enjoy…
Not going to bored you with WIP detail…instead I’m going to speed things up by posting photo of the improve(modified) kit parts
decal rivets from Archer to correct trumpe’s A10 windscreen
with complete canopy
enjoy [:D]
Garage? I think you need a warehouse![:D]
This will be a fun build to follow–I’ve always liked the A-10.
Really nice work in here, Bimski.
thank you gents…
more work…
tail end section
will be adding this aftermarket parts from Sierra Hotel Models to correct the look of the inlet/exhausts [8-|]
Coming along nicely bimski. I love the A-10. At 1:48 it’s big enough though…I can’t imagine where you’ll put something that big and beautiful. Perhaps the driveway! =D
@bvallot thanks…was actually thinking of hanging this beast on the ceiling to keep away the isis
Still top-shelf work going in here- those resin engine upgrades really do look better.
