Give up guys. You aren't going to see an A-10, no matter how how cool it looks. Comon, my wife's got some Sheppard's pie waiting for you inside...... :lol:

Well put Jericoeagle. I can't see why we won't see an A-10 in 1/18 scale. One exists and when it comes to modern aircraft subjects, the A-10 is like the Zero in the WWII line. It HAS to be done. I believe that whoever does will have the same experience with it as BBI will with the Zero. :wink:

On the Admiral Toys website they say to send in your request because that is what they want to see.....what we the consumer want. They are interested in making what we the consumer want. Send in your e-mails requesting an A-10 Warthog or include it in what you want to see. This could be our best chance ever to see the A-10 in 1/18 scale!!!!

Uh guys--I think that means the A-10 is a no go. Bobby Sands died in prison during his hunger strike.
