Yes sir...

They also had one of the only two A-10s to date that has claimed an air-to-air victory in their group.

Chopper Popper flown by Captain Robert R. Swain. He was credited with bringing down the Iraqi Bo 105.

It's now on display as seen above at the US Air Force Academy.

Unfortunately for the Cajuns, BRAC got to them....

Would make a cool schemet though...

Well it looks like this will happen

I have more pledges than I thought that I would

I need to get the M-10 done and do the Sdkfz 222 and this will be a reality. Hopefully in just a few weeks.

I went to Kinkos and enlarged my prints here they are with a BBI Me-109 on top. This is one LARGE hog.

The wing span is 38.33 inches. here are a few pics of the prints with my little helper.

The engine cowlings / pods are LARGER THAN A SODA CAN

That is a yard stick laying on top (36 " )

PH,
I'm considering it - still on the fence. Forgive me if you've covered this in the thread - are you planning on doing any ordnance with the A-10 for the $350-$500 price range?

I wonder what ever happened to that prototype?

I have gone back and forth about this. I am thinking of minamal ordanace with the basic model.

Fully loaded as an option. Painting all those bombs ans other weapons of dectruction with thier multipul colors is a whole other project unto it self.

Pickel have you ever thought about farming out the painting to some one else so it didn't bog you down?

Cant wait to see how this turns out!

If the paintjob and overall result is anywhere as good as the prototype I will deffinetly order one from you Pickel; wether it has any weapons or not.

Well,

I am wanting to do the Sdkfz 222 next as stated, but I tell you JSI is putting their feelers out for a collectors list and this could prove fatal for this A-10 project.

Thoughts ?

I'd probably put it on hold for a few months just to be safe.

That is one project I would buy from you. Not that your work isn't top notch stuff, but I do want an A-10 very badly.

Give it some time to be sure no one is going to release one and then let us know!

Birddog · Post by **Birddog** » Sun Aug 30, 2009 6:20 am

I agree with what Jericoe and Panther have said. Give it a little time and see what happens.

I'll be in if you put it in motion.
