Seems so at this point, but I wouldn't give up hope or asking that one day one of the big three will do a true to scale 1/18 A-10 Warthog. It's a popular aircraft.
This is a beautiful attempt to provide one, but that's just it to me, an attempt. It still falls short in size and other areas. The landing gear on this one, if memory serves me correct from the one displayed at Joe Con last year, makes it sit the same height if not shorter than figures. Plus the landing gear are cheap looking compared to the rest of the aircraft.
No matter how you try, there's no way it will cut it next to the F-16 and F-18. Hanging it might be a good way to make an "illusion", but nothing would beat being able to display a true 1/18 scale A-10 on the ground with figures or next to your other 1/18 aircraft on the ground or in a formation flight.
Still hoping and waiting to see something even better in the A-10 department....
