The first one doesn't look like a model at all.  :thumbsup:
I cannot identify the parts used, any suggestion?
The "Pinocchio" nose changes completely the  A-10 look.

The wings on the top one look like they came from an Su-22, but without the variable sweep.

Top one - could the canopy and nose be a Vautour?  The intakes an A-4?

First photo has been around awhile. SU-17/22 two seater with an F-4 nose and A-4 intakes. I'm going to build that one day.
Love the A-10 make over. :thumbsup:

A-10 with an EFA nose? Looks pretty, whatever was used.  :thumbsup:

Pretty sure we've seen the first one before, still cool tho ! Looks like a brute. The A-10 is certainly neat.

Rather looks like a Tornado ADV? And the fins look rather Jaguar-esque...?

My guess is a Mirage 2000 nose (with slightly lengthened radome) and canopy/cockpit. Going by the colours either a Qatari, Taiwanese or UAE bird.
