First A-10 model 1977

Thought you guys might like this little bit of modeling history. I was going through some of my “New Thunder” news letters, which were published by Fairchild Republic from 1975-1983, and saw this little tid-bit…

I guess we’ve come a long way from this kit to what’s on the market today!! [^]

Hey Dice;
don’t you wish the cowlings DID open that much, and it would have been easier to do engine work and replacement of the oil coolers & amps too, but lifes never that nice, or easy,
So keep them coming

Yea Cuda it would be nice…heck you could work on the top of the engine with the cowl open that far!! [^]

memories. thanks dice.

Hey Dice,
It’ll also let 1 person to change the 10th stage bleed air valve, and do the fire loop inspection after the engines installed
