A-10 Warthog

Good model. Especially the price here is amazing, this is probably the best choice that you'll get. I have seen prices at other places rise up to twice this much! The kit though, is said to have an inaccurate ejection seat. You should fine a resin replacement if you will use an open canopy. Compared to other 1/48 A-10, this one is your best bet.

I just recently finished building this kit and I was impressed with it. There were some fit issues however. Aligning the two halves of the fuselage caused the nose section to be a little uneven. No matter what I did, I was not able to correct the issue. Also, because of this issue, the windshield did not sit right. Even after filing the past where it sits at, it still didn't sit right. The canopy didn't sit right either. Basically, if the nose section is not aligned correctly, the canopy and windshield section is gojng to be out of whack. I advise that when you go to put the wings and tail section into the fuselage that you do it before you put the engines on as this will complicate thag process. Other than those issues, it was an easy build!

I think this is one of the best 1/48 scale WartHog models on the market.I experienced no real complactions during assembly other than gluing the cannon bay cover in place prior to installing the cockpit tub and nose wheel well. My own stupidity,so had to pry it off,this resulted in some putting sanding and re scribing panel lines,all my own fault.Overall detail is excellent especially in the cockpit,I only had to add a set of shoulder harnesses made of masking tape and fine wire buckles,and painted light grey.This thing comes with enough ordance to make anyone happy.The decals are excellent,depecting two different aircraft.For the price I just think you cannot beat it.I would highly recommend this kit.
