    Hehehe!! On the original jets with artwork, shortly after they landed back home the wing commander sent the pilots back out with scrub brushes and buckets!! He was not amused with the art work. Until 78-0718 showed up on the cover of Airpower magazine, our unit got a lot of good press of those pics and then the Wing CC loved the art work and we added to jets at our next ORI. Of course the 5 jets at Gunsmoke 91.

    Our unit used both the ALQ-184 & ALQ-131 while deployed when we had A models (Mid 80's til early 2000's)

    Worked on A-10's for 31 years as both a Jet engine troop an a Crew Chief. What would you like to know?

    Where are the magnets for the weapons?? It was previewed with the "MAGFIRE" attachment feature? Also I thought there would be P/E strengthening plates? Just curious.

    The engine fan blades sit approximately 28" from the lip of the cowl ring.

    All you would need is a new "old" instrument panel. A pave penny pylon and your good. all the rest of the antennas were either carried by later "A's" or they can be removed (ALE-47 sensors)

    Does anyone know where I can get a copy of Nic Millmans " Painting the Early Zero Sen" I've googled but have come up dry. Any help would be appreciated!

    Yes the early Iranian F-4E's were built to block 46,47 standards later upgraded to a slatted wing

    When is the Non limited edition i.e. just one kit going on sale. I like the Spitfire Mk1 but I only need one,

    Well I am not a big fan of the open engine panels. But I will give them kudos for including the parts to do both the older Su-27P and the newer Su-27SM. I Hope GWH does the same thing. And the MLG wheel wells are molded at the right angle!

    I was there in '91! Matter of fact my outfit won the competition! 175th FG MD ANG. From what I was told the F-15E's didn't have a strafing gunsight it was strictly A/A but they tried!
