  1. Moved to the paint section as its plainly NOT a cold war aircraft question. Please post in the correct area.
  2. It was designed to get back to base damaged, then to be able to be repaired and re-enter the fight, not just land wheels up somewhere else.
  3. The Lamborghini Countach was always "The" Italian Supercar for me.
  4. The A-10 was designed from the outset for maximum survivability over the battlefield. Flight controls are double with manual revision, the engines are set high and apart so one can take a SAM hit without the other. Also YES it was designed to land in an emergency with the gear still up, this is why the wheels protrude out of the bottom of the under carridge pods and the reason they are set lower on the wing. They would land nose attitude up like as shown in the picture above. The lower parts of the rear stabilizers are designed to skid. As to the comment on the gun muzzle digging in you would have to be seriously nose down for this to happen as show in the picture above. There have been a few land over the years with the gear up and in all cases its worked like it should.
  5. You can out a link to Airliners.net just not imbed the images into a post
  6. This shot shows how the bay of offset to put the wheel on the centre line, unfortunately when I shot the one as Cosford I never took a head on shot
  7. Having seen what comes with that I would not even consider it

  10. Yes its rally sharp, and yes ive stabbed myself with it
  11. They are not a waste of moderators time, in fact they help as we cant be everywhere at once, we have the rule and its there for a reason. So for anyone thinking of making a report, its just that a report, we will look at it, this is not the "complaining" you make it out to be.
  12. No one is trashing kit as you put it, people are having a discussion on its merits and shape issues as they see them, so please dont inject this int the discussion.
