hello all I'm new to the boards here but just wanted to add my Wanting for the A-10 in 1:18th scale as well. I got to see a couple of Hogs fly a while back shortly after Desert Storm at a Airshow in SW Kansas at the Liberal Air Museum. They had two A-10's one for demo and one for people to get up close and personal with. They had it fire its cannon as well during the demo though they were firing blanks it was still cool to hear it fire.
I'm also desireing a F-15E Strike Eagle as well in the 1:18th scale.

Check out these photos of the A-10. You can actually see the rounds being fired in the second, third, and fourth photographs!!!! (The little black specks)

http://forum.a-10.org/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9310

Love the nose art on those A-10s. That would be a sweet paint scheme for a 1/18 scale A-10 too!!! :wink:

Happy and surprised to see that you guys are still living and earning your bacon (pun defenitely intended) as the hoggedest, most persistent oinkers I've ever seen in my life, for any cause whatsoever!

So keep up the strike and have a great New Year guys. And may Admiral Toys be the one producing the A-10 in 1:18 scale. Just a hunch.

Happy New Years to you too Eddie. We're alive in spirit and determination to see a 1/18 scale A-10 produced. Just waiting to see who will be the champion of the A-10........Admiral?...BBI?....21st?

Keeping the faith and hunger alive.........A-10 A-10 A-10 A-10 A-10!!!!!!

Here's another link to some interesting pictures of and about the A-10. The second pic gives a good idea of the pounding an A-10 can take. The last picture is pretty cool showing the protection afforded to the pilot of an A-10. Now that would be a cool "removable" cockpit for a 1/18 scale aircraft....... :wink:

    Ever heard of an Irishman named Bobby Sands? "

    The Fall Toy Fair.

    The mind games abound with you Mike. Still not giving up no matter what you say. Glad you enjoyed your Christmas Dinner. Hopefully I'll get to enjoy mine next year.....of course if I live that long.... right?....:wink:

    I know this is just coinsidence but I think it's weird that Bobby Sands lived for 66 days before the hungerstrike (the second one he was involved in) took his life and, if I have counted my days right, it was 66 days (August 20 to October 25) into our A-10 Hungerstrike that we saw a "possibility" of the A-10 being done by BBI.

    Whether we become martyrs or catalysts...........MAY THE A-10 LIVE IN 1/18 SCALE!!!!!!!!!!!
