This will be fun to follow.
Carlos' pic reminds me of a story my mother told me that she witnessed some time back.
At one time a squadron of A-10's was transferred to Eglin AFB in Florida for training. Someone at the base got the idea to contact as many of the citizens of Niceville/Valparaiso who had homes on the water and boats on their docks. They arranged for the people to take their boats out on the bayou. The A-10's would make mock firing runs on the boast while the boaters did their utmost to evade them. The Boaters had a blast avoiding the A-10's and the A-0 pilots were stunned at how hard it was to 'hit' such moving targets. That was a most productive and eye-opening training mission for them.
Bring it on Stuart!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

That would be a great decal on a 1/48 or 1/32 scale A-10 kit.

Re: Italeri 1/72 A-10A
So I picked up a copy of Scale Aircraft Modeler yesterday, which had a profile article on the A-10. The interesting thing was that the Italeri kit was considered THE kit of the A-10 in 1/72 until the Great Wall hobby kit came out. funny, I had no idea.
The other interesting thing was the full colour profiles including one for this... Yes I have decals on order. I love this JAWS scheme, ever since I saw it on the boxart onthe AIrfix kit.
Cheers!

I'm seeing spots.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: Italeri 1/72 A-10A
This is the boxart I remember as a kit - always loved this scheme. (I'd like to think I could do a better job than that!)

Re: Italeri 1/72 A-10A
I would not dare to try that right now. I am a bit surprised that Airfix did not get someone to spray this with an a/b. Perhaps they were modelling it for "everyman".
