Wicked Warthogski !

Nice find, KD.

Oooooh, Russian naval A-10ski... I like the built up hump behind the cockpit, just like the latest Su-25's.

BTW, what was the proposed GB?

It looks like they just sealed over the second cockpit of the Trump A-10 N/AW kit.

QuoteBTW, what was the proposed GB?

It sounded a lot like a Whif goup build proposal based on the ideas being thrown around

ARC Thread

Basically, aircraft in markings you wouldn't expect to see them in. F-15s with red stars, Flankers in USAF markings, etc...

Very very nice indeed!!
I like the twin-seat A-10....what a shame it never progressed.

I saw that model in person - it was at the 2002 IPMSUSA Nationals - 1/32 scale.

A production A-10 two-seater would have been very cool, but as it would have been a true Night and All-Weather platform the 'fast jet' drivers in the tactical air force command structure were never going to support the program. Threatened their position on the totem-pole, ya see.

Anybody have any illos of how the production version was to look? I know that Fairchild were intending to use a long F-15E style canopy rather than the multi-piece affair of the prototypes.

The model is very cool but somehow it really needs an F-84F style canopy.

Cheers, Jon

All I could find was this. Just the prototype. B)

Truly stunning model.

Awesome![/size]

I suggest Su-10 Vartov...

GTX · February 07, 2007, 12:43:10 AM

Wicked - is it a Su-10T, an A-10T or perhaps a A-39?
