I believe you have to have interests in this hobby to want something. Even if it is produced or not produced. What's wrong with wishing or wanting? Did you not read Bad Cats new letter for the Zero? Had it not been for the wishing and wanting of people interested in this hobby, the Zero would not ha...

Look at it this way, nearly all the aircraft that have been considered at this point to be "high sellers" have been produced. With the exception of the Hellcat in the WWII line, what else is there but more obscure or larger subjects. I know that BBI hasn't done a P-47, P-38, Sptifire, etc.. If they ...

Guess so. Didn't realize the F-18 had been out that long. However with such an influx of WWII aircraft within a year......guess we'll have to "wait and see".

The only thing I wonder about sometimes is if the modern aircraft, such as the F-18 and F-16, have sold so well, why is it that we haven't seen anymore modern aircraft from BBI yet? You'd think they would be making a run on the modern aircraft market by now.

My thoughts exactly Wise. Only I don't think the engines would have to be removed. If the wing disassembly point was made just outside the main gear pods on each side, the engines could be left on the fuselage. When you look at the A-10's profile from above, you can see the engines don't protrude ou...

I agree on more new products and less repaints. There are many more good subjects (Modern Aircraft, Modern Armour, WWII Armour) that can be done instead of rehashing the same thing that has been done or that someone else has done. If this hobby is going to grow, NEW items need to be introduced inste...

I posted some pics of a 1/48 scale A-10 and 1/48 scale F-18 in the "I'm on a Hunger Strike.....for an A-10" thread. Gives some size comparison.

I spoke with Bad Cat a couple of weeks ago about the Red Devils scheme and they said that it would probably be done, but it wasn't high priority right now.

Here are some pics I took of a 1/48 scale A-10 and a 1/48 scale F-18. The pictures give a good size comparison of the two aircraft.

Hopefully we will all be surprised with something else we are begging for (A-10). The indecision to produce the A-10 by BBI or 21st is the surprising part. Hopefully it will go the way of the Zero.

As long as our dilegence brings us the A-10, to each his own.

The A-10 is big, but I don't think it is that much bigger. The fuselage is just a little under the length of the F-18. It's real size issue I believe is the wingspan. The wingspan is actually longer than the fuselage!! However the wings wouldn't be attached to the fuselage anyway. Depending on how t...

Going on 24 hours and holding strong!!!!!

Just getting an accurate 1/18 A-10 at this point would be good enough for me. But the extras would make it icing on the cake......

Amen Brutha!!!!

I never would have to see a prototype of the A-10 to want it. It's that cool of an aircraft and it looks like many others here agree. Since I started collecting 1/18 I've wanted an A-10 to be done in this scale. It fits in perfect with the other modern equipment. Our armour and troops need close air...

It would be very cool to have all those paint schemes available. Or have the roll your own option like the F-16s.

Nothing to do with being "too old" to play with toys, it's a matter of accuracy and scale. Don't want to park the Target A-10 next to my F-16's and F-18's. Want the Total Realism and Maximum Detail.

Please give us an accurate 1/18 scale A-10 Warthog.

And thanks again for your response.

I saw the Target A-10 yesterday myself. It is neat for what it is intended for. What is amazing is the detail that did go into it for it to be a $20 toy. The cockpit had detail to it. The paint scheme is very cool and what is even more surprising are the unit markings. The unit markings and paint sc...

I'm with you Jericoeagle!!! No food until a HAWG is on the table!!!

When is the interview going to be posted?

I'm anxious to hear what was said at tlhe interview.

I agree....bring on an A-10 and Hellcat. I hope these are in the works to be released soon. Please guys, bring us the A-10!!!
