The little or no interest in a 1/18 A-10 Thread

Post by **p51** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 11:26 pm

He he, being the Planes of Fame's photographer, I have all access to airshow aircraft. The A-10s came in the Thursday before the airshow, and I was onhand as they did their overview (aka buzzing the field really low and pulling up almost vertical near the end). After they landed and the crew did the post flight checks I had those two A-10s all to myself! I will post a few more photos tonight (upon request!)..

Beautiful.......makes my heart race everytime. I agree with Teamski, the heritage flight photo is spectacular.........wish I had an A-10 to create a scene like that with my P-51...

......hopefully one day. Thanks for those photos P51!!!

I had no idea that the A-10 was that much bigger than the P-51. WOW!
Nice pics.

You are right ! i saw here in France only once an A 10 on an airforce base and it s huge ! !!!!! with these photo i was wondering (knowing the size of my killer P 51 where t o store such an enormous plane !!!!!!!!) with this picture of heritage flight it downed on me that i had to move to a larger flat

I still believe I would buy a couple.
I've seen a few flying over head, I'd like to see one up close. I was at the Dayton Air Show a year ago, I can't remember if there was one out there.
Makes me want one even more.

The A-10 wouldn't be that much bigger than the F-18 in size. Just the wingspan. Add about five and half more inches to each side of the main wing of BBI's F-18. Check out the pics I posted previously on this thread. I'm sure it can be done as well.

By the way 217lbs and counting as of this morning.

Jericoeagle1: I've actually gained a pound or two under my strategy to eat a donut a day until a F-4 is produced. I've got a line of credit at my local donut shop. Should be good to go for quite some time, at least until I run out of credit or top out at 850 lbs.

If the A-10 gets produced I'll join you on your Donut diet.

If the A-10 is produced I'll buy you both two dozen donuts each to get you started....

Slow news week I guess, now the waiting begins again for the next bit of news. I really hate these lulls.

Part of the hobby I suppose.

Whoever voted no on the poll please tell us why not? I'm really interested in knowing if it is because you collect armour only, hate the aircraft etc.

Great pics P51.

Who voted no on the poll

Birddog · Post by **Birddog** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 3:07 pm

Good question Jericoeagle1, wonder why the "no" vote?

Post by **aferguson** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 6:20 pm

why have the option if you don't expect people to vote for it?

Its not that I'm expecting a "yes" vote from everyone. I'm interested in why someone mighty not be interested hence giving wieght to a manufacturers reason's for not producing the aircraft. Of course someone just may not like aircraft, or they collect one scale exclusively. Someone may like the A-10 but believes the scale is too large and perhaps may best be served in a smaller scale like 1/24 or 1/32.
