They certainly offer the potential to create an interesting model. Given enough time and razor saw wielding. Tempted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Having looked into exactly what is needed to make an accurate YA-10 I can safely say that I won't be going down that route! So a JAWS aircraft it shall be, though which of the 3 schemes I have yet to decide, probably 75-258 with the light tan background to the colours. I also have a back up plan of one with a temporary Winter camo covered by Two Bobs decals in case I stuff up the splotchy camo scheme for 258, though looking at pictures of the aircraft the paint finish looks like I applied it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've a vague memory that the Matchbox kit was more representative of a YA-10 (now there's a challenge for you Craig ) but it seems you've more decals in your stash than kits - now far be it from me to lead you astray but I must ask... W.W.E.M.D? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W.W.E.M.D? Correct, on both counts! The Matchbox kit does represent a YA-10 very nicely but I can't see myself building one of those and my decals are all in 1/48, and yes I have quite a few sheets for A-10's as I really like the aircraft and have very fond memories of seeing them when they were based over here including our school being buzzed by a pair the day after Operation El Dorado Canyon. A Woodbridge/Bentwaters bird is certainly on the long term to-do list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandros Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I am in for that. It will be a good reason to finally build an A-10 with the JAWS scheme, a decision that is pending for more than 10 years! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I was thinking of doing the JAWS scheme myself. Wouldn't it be cool if all four different schemes were built. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so we could meet and cut postage completely ? To add we can talk shop and if there are any Museums nearby ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
