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.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

The wings on the top one look like they came from an Su-22, but without the variable sweep.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

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:

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.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?
