Here's what I've done with the rear end. I think this will solve all my problems. Just hope I have ground clearence.

Yes, there a lot of possiblities for this one. Y'alls ideas are very welcome. It give a lots to choose from, but they also spawn ideas that I use. Thanks.

I also have a extra fuselage and a pair of stubby wings. I'll save those for future bashes.

Woah Eddie that totally rocks! I love the look of the new tail! Wicked cool!

I still vote for gatlings or chain guns on those unused gear fairings.

I look forward to the finished product.

Nice work, Eddie! My counsel is that the nose should be modified to incoporate twin GAU-8s.

Eggsactly. That is my first plan. I think I'll hang a FLIR or some such stuff in the now duplicated wheel wells. I think I'm going to be forced to add a plug to extend the fuselage because of the C/G. Very tail heavy right now.

Sweet !

Love the new tail design.......

I've got two A-10 kit bashes planned, and now that I have all the kits I need, I'll start them once we move.

Looks good, in fact, amazing.
Could you add a rotor housing and rotor to the top?

Only if it comes from a CH-53E  B)

If you put twin GAU/8 in the nose, you won't have to worry about the CG.  

[Eddie M.]

Good point. Thank you .

I think that the hog as been on the roids!

Can't wait to see that one done!  

[John Howling Mouse]

Wow, first time I've seen this!  Love the whole thing, Eddie, anyway you do it.

Wonder what it would look like if you twin-podded the engines into tight pairs like on a B-52?  Guess that would frack up your tailfins, though.

I have to agree with the Gat-guns in the additional landing gear fairings.  Mmmm...
And I'd twin the nose ones the way you want, as well.  Call 'em "Fat-Gats."
Center of Gravity?  We don't need no stinkin' Center of Gravity!

Besides, you've doubled the heaviest part of the a/c way to the aft anyhow: the engines.  And, if you have two more Gat-guns in the wing fairings, that's additional weight for balance.

In fact, I'd twin the nose-wheels, ala Tornado, too!

P.S. Paint scheme?   SEA camo this time?

[Ollie]

Wicked!

I'd leave the landing gear in all the pods to give it the look of the Ju-390 with landing gear legs sticking all over the place.

 

[K5054NZ]

Why oh why did I leave this place for a day? Holy mother of hogs, Eddie! That beastie is awesome, I want one!     Paint scheme? Or has that been discussed already?

I'd put leading-edge radome on one wing (like the Corsair nightfighter from the Korean war), and counterweight it with a FLIR on the other wing - though you'll have to figure out the correct look for the radome yourself... Tip of a spare fuel tank, maybe?
