I have done some research up on the A-10 from google, but its limited. I was hoping that a couple of you finescale modelers could help a young lad out! I would like to get much useful info on the A-10 warthog. I am building the 1/48 Revell A-10. It looks good to me, but I dont know everything about the A/C as I would love to hence thats my goal to fly in the AF! anything from reviews on the revell kit to the last bolt would be helpfull :wink: wink wink hha! Thanks guys!

Do an image search on Yahoo. They have many pix and lots of links. Also check out aircraftresourcecenter.com

airliners.net

These are the ones that popped into my head off hand.

When you deside which time pierod and unit A-10 you want to build Iā€™m sure you will get all the info you need.

Hereā€™s a great combo to make a very nice A-10A and it wont cost as much as the Italeri,

the Revell-O-Gram A-10A Kit ($15.00), True Details A-10A Cockpit Resin Set ($8.98), Shull24 A-10A Exterior Resin Update set ($8.00) and that comes to $31.98 compaired to the Italeri kit that starts out at $35.99 and there is where itā€™ll start (ON DETAILED COCKPIT is just a start) the only down fall is that youā€™ll need to rescribe the panel lines on the Revell-O-Gram kit but thatā€™s not to hard to do itā€™ll just take time thatā€™s all, but if your a little apprehensive about re-scribing donā€™t worry about doing that until you get more experience at re-scribing but try to do it on an old broken down model and then try it on the next build

You have heard of Google, so thatā€™s good. A simple search on the A-10 there has turned up more pics than I can look at! Hereā€™s just one of many great sites, this one offering no less than TENTY FOUR pages of pics:

That leaves me curious as to what you want to find out that cant be found there.

I have been looking for info on the Yak7 UTI and have turned up a scad of info on THAT long forgotten bird. I find it hard to fathom that something as common as the A-10 is hard to find stuff on.

Remember, you can overload on information, ā€œinformation avalancheā€ its called, and end up doubting everything before long. Pretty soon you question every stroke of your X-acto blade, every nuance of color or rivet placement. Dont let that happen. Besides, no sooner are you done with this or that, but some piece of information will turn up that would have been nice to have in the beginning.

So, get whatā€™s relevent, get committed and get to building. This is supposed to be fun, after all!
