More New A-10s!!!!

Post by Medicman71 »

HOLY CRAP!!! It's apparently a good year to be an A-10 fan. Academy is coming out with a new tool one and now there's strong rumors that Great Wall Hobby AND Hobby Boss are coming out with new ones as well.

Hobby Boss. Don't know if this is a new tool or a revised tooling. I've never seen HB revise a kit though.

As long as it’s a correct “C” version.

Have not built one since Tamiya in the 80's might have to try the Great Wall version

As I believe I have the A version from years ago; I will look into getting a C version.... unless the review one I did was a C... :hmm:

As of right now, no one does a correct "C" out of the box. The current HB one and the Italeri one are more of an "A+" because the instrument panel is still the old one.

Now Phase Hanger Resin do make a complete resin cockpit and all for a correct "C" with the MFD's and all the lumps and bumps that are part of the upgrade.
