Ok, here we are. I hope this helps you as a little source of inspiration.

Thank you very much! And, yes, looks like you see it right with the antenna configuration. If you want, I can upload some pics of the old Verlinden A-10 Update set that, unfortunately, is now discontinued but has resin and PE parts to detail the avionics bay as you plan to do. Also, another bigger detailing set from Aires also includes parts to detail the part of the avionics bay of picture #23 above. The old Verlinden set has a larger section. (If I find out how to upload images).

The avionics bay can also be seen here on picture #23. As crew chief figures I would take the ones included in Hasegawa's U.S. Aerospace Ground Equipment Set. I don't know how far you would like to add detail to the Hog, but I got these resin wheels. Although the Italeri wheels are a good representation of the original, they lack of small details like the screws on the wheel wells. That could be fixed with a few rivet decals but all in all the resin wheels are nicer. I hope this helps.

Hello all. I'm a newly registered member here but followed this forum with high interest for a long time as a reading guest. But now it was time to register here, partly because you giemme started building a project I currently have at my workbench. (I'm building a unit of the 74th TFS that also took part in Op. Desert Storm). I have been collecting photos and information about the A-10 und its EL units like crazy. As I have been following this thread, I have noticed that here and there emerged questions. Or there are infos that could be helpful for a optimum result. Did you know this resource? Link Very important information, because often the infos in books are vague and sometimes they even contradict each other. I believe that this loadout scheme is very credible as it underlines pictures of the real thing: Link Look at the bottom of the drawings: Link Another important thing: Compare the color scheme on the Italeri instructions sheet of the unit your are building with the real thing. Italeri says that these colors will be needed: FS34082, FS36118 and FS34102. The European 1 scheme on the A-10s consists of FS34092, FS36081 and FS34102. I don't know if the unit you are building has different colors, but I doubt that. Cheers
