Moved to the paint section as its plainly NOT a cold war aircraft question. Please post in the correct area.

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.

The Lamborghini Countach was always "The" Italian Supercar for me.

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.

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 -

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.

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.

Done, but it’s much easier just to hit the report button on things rather than just wait until we happen upon something -
Man that is criminal 😢

Dave Myers, one half of the "Hairy Bikers" passes away.

A real shame he was such a nice bloke and I loved his shows. He looked ill the last time he was on TV but I had hoped he had beaten the cancer. RIP -
Sorry but way off the mark, its just used for the lower rank of officers generally 2nd Lts. Was around a long time before the late Queen was in the army, or even women were in the army for that matter.

Ive closed this thread as there is another one going and we dont make threats on Britmodeller to set our army of trolls on people no matter how bad thing are. Julien

So we should accept substandard product in the hope that they do better next time or accept a sub par kit for the sake of a good decal sheet? I really dont think so. There are areas of kits which can be tweaked and made better with aftermarket, but here there are major shape errors. This im sorry to say on my part is not acceptable.

While I agree with the comments on getting the info from Airfix, I just see informed criticism of the kit here, not moaning, or anything of the like. Well reasoned points with kit photos and real photos. I would go as far as to say yours is the only real moan here?
