Meatyhog!

BTW would look good w/sharkmouth!!
In my opinion, British, Canadian, or USAF markings make things look so much better...

Amazing, in a word! Can't believe how right this looks, or how good!

I was sure I had seen this before, I think I've posted a pic of it to one of the "Whiffs found......" pages (may have also been facebook) as well in recent history.  :rolleyes:
Thanks for resurrecting this thread, It is a fantastic model that to me is a "should have been". :thumbsup:

How does one nominate for a Whiffy? This build has certainly earned at least that!

Excellent work! I love the whole idea!! Now we know where the A-10's designer got his inspiration!  ;D

IIRC it already was nominated, but it was a 2012 build.
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! :)

IMHO, the perfect example of everything a "what-if" model should be. A very feasible idea, well executed.   :bow:

The only remaining question, " How might it have evolved ?"

Gloster Reaper GR2 & GR3









Thanks for the inspiration

Zurakowski couldn't do his 'Cartwheel' with the engines that close together. :(
