Yet another aircraft from Max’s Comparitive 1/48 Aircraft Museum. Not a big Revell fan but this was a fun build and turned out acceptible as they say. Having seen A-10s in action, I certainly wouldn’t want to be on the other side. What a war machine indeed. The ordnance loading would never be in this configuration but was to show the different kinds of weaponry that could be or was used. Check it out.

I missed my favorite side-view.

I’m getting some color variation between shots and I’m working on it. Be patient!
Ah, better!
Nice! This is on my want to do list, along with a bunch of others, lol. I love the paint job!
Nothing like some close-up photography to reveal some glaring seams particularily on the underside and ordnance. I did at least smooth up the ordnance on the viewing side. I see I somehow missed the seams around the poor fitting engine mounts also. All just lessons for the next model. Still fixable. You might have missed all of this but I doubt it! LOL! [:$]

Lol, I had a couple of big goofs including crooked landing gear on my much more expensive HobbyBoss A-10 that I didn’t see until I took photos!
Nice work Max, love the camo!
Nice, I like that the decelerons are open.
I do remember, depending on what tow truck you used all you could see in the rear view mirror was that 30MM gun. You always hoped that it was correctly safed!

I’m just correcting the color on this view so it better represents how it actually looks. [:)]
I think I’m finally done and funny story Kevin!

Nice A10, Max. Surely like your freehand camo job.
I really like A10’s a lot, and for some reason am half-afraid to start mine, a Hobbyboss kit.
The A-10. The only aircraft that needed its landing gear moved to the side, so that the gun would fit. nicely done.
As always, another fantastic build from you sir! It’s nice and refreshing to see a camoflauge A-10 than a gray one for a change.

Big thanks Guys for your comments! Also here’s the optional monster fuel tank that I display with it.
Max
Nice build Max. I think I have one of those in my stash somewhere. Thanks for sharing.
Cool model! I’ve always loved the A-10.
Nice work on a challenging kit! Thanks for sharing…
Max, Love the A-10, and the way its loaded for bear. Bombs, Mavericks, napalm tanks and of course that huge cannon. Very cool.

I love the Maryland decal on it. I used to watch them everyday at the airframe and powerplant school that I went to for 2 years at Martin State Airport. I have 2 A-10’s in my collection that are screaming to me to build. Ones a monogram and the other is a tamiya both in 1/48th.
