Can I use this PE-set on my A-10?

I´m planning to build my 1/72 Revell A-10 sometime later this year and want to add PE. Eduard has a PE-set for Italeri. I´ve heard roumors that it´s the same mold. Is this true?


This is the kit I got.

This is the PE-set I´m hoping I can use.

Thanks /Johan

I can’t make-out what’s included in the “PE” kit so I can’t tell you if it’s correct or not. You can go to my website (below) and click on the A-10C section on the left menu or the “added a new A-10C section” under the news and updates, there you will find an explination of what’s included in the A-10 PE mod and some pictures of the cockpit which should help.

Gilmund;
as for most aftermarket sets you can use them on the type of equipment required, a A-10 is a A-10 is a A-10, it may need some adjustments here and there but it should work on Italeri, Revell/Monograms and even Hasegawa’s kits, and at that scale who’ll know the differance anyway, and yes Eduard makes the set specifically for the Italeri kit but I used PE sets recommended for a Monogram kit and used it on an Academy kit and all I did was do a little trimming here & there to make it work

Gilmund, the Revell-Germany is a reboxed Italeri. And be wary of Dice, you just can’t trust these posers that spend their careers in the Air Force and a decade on A-10’s, then come to these websites trying to pass themselves off as a wanna-be model expert… [;)]

Since I’m on the Eduard mailing list, I get just about all of their non-armor monthly product releases. I have the 1:72 A-10 sets, interior, exterior and weapons. All are marked for use with the “Revell/Italeri kit,” so I assume this is the very same mold under different trademarks. The answer to your question, then, is a definite yes.
I also have two sets of all the frets for the Trumpeter 1/32 Hawg. Makes me want to build one. Of course, that would involve finding the dough to buy one, which is sort of out of the question. I must be the only one on this forum who has never built an A-10, and like most airplane people, I have a deep sentimental attachment to the ugly beast.
