So here's my entry into the GB. This is the Hobby Boss N/AW-10 two seat A-10. I'm going to do it as if it was chosen over the F-15E Strike Eagle. I have the Eduard Exterior PE set and I'll use a combination of A-10 and F-35 decals.

Very cool Mike. I'll be following along.

Thanks! This was designed with controls in front and back. I modified the rear to more like a back seater that you would see in a Strike Eagle or Super Hornet. I cut the control stick to the base of the grip and added it to the side console. The rear instrument panel is light in details or non-exisitant. I'll see about using decals or something to add detail.

Yes, it was a Warthog in its day. Here's a crappy, old pic of my AMT Hs-129:

When you wrote that you’re doing this in certain markings does that mean this will be a ‘What if?’ or something else? I don’t know very much about aircraft after the Fifties so I am curious to learn more! Thanks!!



I have an ancient Airfix Hs129 I’m thinking about building in a bit. That Henschel “Tank Buster” is kind of an early Warthog, isn’t it?

Yeah it'll be a "What If". I think I may make it a Lakenheath jet.

Ooooh .... gotta love the Henschel "Tank Buster" That one has been on my "must build" list for some time now.

The A-10 is a highly over-rated aircraft and should be immediately taken out of service!

Just kidding. The A-10 is probably my favorite jet after the F-86, Such effective weapon. The Henchel I have not seen on the forums. Neat a/c.

Looked in Scalehobbyist for the Hs-129. Both are in 1/32 scale and selling for $140 and $160.
