Its been a while since I whiffed so here goes

In 1985 the RAF was on the hunt for there new ground attack aircraft, however there plan to continue with the Harrier programme in to the GR5 and above hit a stumbling block when BAe announced that the harrier could not carry the weight of ordnance the RAF specified, Hence the decision was made to down scale the amount of Harriers the RAF would get and supplement these with the american designed A-10 however for use in the RAF this was extensively modified and only a 2 seat version was purchased giving the 'Blizzard' an ALL weather all condition ability

Outstanding all around! Paint job is awesome and the shading is nice and subtle. Its plain to see you put as much effort into the ordnance as the rest of the kit.

I've always found the two seater to be relatively unattractive. You've proved me wrong there. Lovely model  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Oh well done, that's looks very good!  :thumbsup:

By sheer coincidence, I bought single and two-seat A-10s today with the intention of making them RAF. Significantly different concept to your's though.
