Hey guys, taking a short break from my bridge refit.

This is roughly a days work.

PLEASE COMMENT.

That's pretty good for a day's work.

Can't wait to see the finished product.

Nice start mate! Are you going to model a 100% real version or are you going to Sci-Fi it? Personally I think a version with Forward Swept Wings and a belly laser turret-bubble would look good

Y'know the US is actually building a C-130 Gunship with a solid state Laser cannon? ;-) I kid you not...

yea a sci-fi'd version of my favorute warplane would be cool.

very good start, oh are you going to make just the A(single seat) model or the B(2 seater) model as well.

one note, the body is to skinny, try fattening it up a bit. It's sorta round for the big ammo cylinder for that gun.

Too bad that the A-10B never existed outside of the prototype stages.

I thought there was two seater night attack version?

Nice start, one of my all time fav aircraft, I must build my trumpeter kit of this soon.

Not sure if I'll scifi it. If I do, I'll base it off of FAFNIR's K-5 attack craft. The blueprints I'm using, have the info I would need to make the 2 seater, not sure if I'll do it though. I have the wings and tail on. I need to add the gun, and wing-wheel pods. and then the base mesh will be done.

Pics in a few minutes

heres the pic. I widen the foward half about a 1/32 more than the original, and tapered it a little more to keep the fuselage fairly smooth and flowing.

I did the wings(not including the wingtips) and tail last night.

japme · 10-14-2008, 03:30 AM

Redid the wing tips and smoothed them out. Added the Wing Wheel Well Pods.

Bagera...
I have one of your drawings for the A-10. Did you only do one, or did you do several? If so could email me them? Thanx.
