Yup - that is not a 1:18 A-10, and you could get it for much less.

More Apaches seem to be heading to a few of our board members so you may want to contact Raider or Aviator in the Buy Sell Trade forum.
Apaches run about 60-70, and the Cobra about 40-55. They are both stunning in 1:18 scale. If you get one, I have a feeling it will not be long before you get the other. :wink:

Some details?...Apache has two very nice figures with proper head & flight gear. The Cobra comes with a CIA type guy so you'll need to buy pilots if you care for them. Otherwise the Cobra is a bit more detailed and better bang for your buck. There is engine access on the Cobra, as well access under the cockpit on both sides. The canopy is thin and removable for easy entry to the cockpit. Can't go wrong with either if you're a helo fan.

thanks guys you saved my $66 :D :D

this was the desc. on ebay sellers store:
From bbi (blue box) is the modern US Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt jet with operating features.   Part of the Elite Force Combat Command line, this is a realistic model featuring opening canopy with detailed cockpit; operating landing gear; 3 ¾” articulated pilot; accurate three-tone NATO woodland paint and USAF insignia; PLUS working bomb drop, firing missiles with re-loadable magazine, illuminated target sight, and sound effects.  The overall quality, construction and playability is far superior to any other similar model available; and it’s the only A10 model of this size made.   Aircraft requires simple fit-together assembly and is and impressive 21 by 23 inches when assembled.  Approximately 1:18 scale; compatible with GI Joe; Ultimate Soldier Xtreme Detail; Lanard; Power Team; and other 3 ¾ - 4 inch figures.  The aircraft, parts, and accessories have not been touched and are still as packaged by the manufacturer; box has shelf wear.  “Try me” feature has not been removed or activated. "


i will warn ebay about this wrong info for the item !!!!

LOL!!!

I guess it all depends on what your definition of "detailed cockpit", "similar model" and "Approximately 1:18 scale" are...
