Very cool - nothing to dislike in a hog build!

I know this is an older kit but how is it? Any real issues?

That is the exact A-10 Tamiya kit that was ripped off on my along with the B-52 kit at my house when we first moved in. Damn contractors think I wouldn’t notice they’ve gone missing some weeks later.

Looking forward to seeing this one built up.

That is such an iconic aircraft. Certainly a favorite!

Oh cool! That’s a good kit to use for an early production type. I’m gonna enjoy following here.

I love these birds! Through a connection I had that was deployed at the time I sent over the flag I was flying on 9/11/01 for his squad to carry with. When he returned he surprised me with the flag and certificate stating it was flown in at least one sortie on an A-10C ( I guess there was quite a bit of action that occurred during the flight) by a friend of his.

Very nice! I too am interested in seeing how this kit builds up. I've got that same decal sheet.
