Ok..OK...I know it's a model, but I'm not going to put it together, plus I figure more people will see it here...I'll move it in a few days to the model forum...

Anyways..Armour has a new A-10 comming out in June...here is the pic from the box...I'll have mine on order tomorrow when I get payed...

But, you did pre-order, right?<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

So, you have trouble. We all have trouble. Build a bridge and get over it.

if that tail number is 80-0271 then the markings are incorrect and the nose art is iincorrect. 80-0271 was at woodbridge during the gulf (I crewed it 88-89), and I am almost positive that woodbridge birds didnt go to the gulf war (desert storm), If memory serves me right, that nose art was on a myrtle beach acft, I do believe falcon section (355th),

ITS RIGHT, THEY COULD OF EVEN PUT A LAU 88 ON BOARD WITH 1 EXTRA MAV TOO
ON EACH SIDE, I LIKE IT THEY GOTTEN BETTER WITH THE SMALL DETAILS UNLIKE THE EARLIER ONES.

MONEY TALKS,B.S. JUST PILES UP.

The latest two models have the lower MLG doors the correct way too...that was my main "dislike" when I got my first couple...having the doors "reversed" so to speak...

prkiii, where did you order it in advance from? Online? I love building models, but there's no hobby shops here in Aaska, and the BX's selection is...well...typical BX selection. I had a great one of an A-10 I did at Pope, I even painted teeth on it, I had all the details down, it was great. I even saftey wired it from the corner of the ceiling so it looked like it was in flight, but I had to leave it when I left for Osan. It must be fate me working the A-10- when I was on leave a while back, I found the very first model I ever built (out of like over 100 I did before I joined) it my parent attic and it was an A-10! (and man did it look like a 10 year old put it together).

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand Binary, and those who don't.

JUST DONT DO A "DUMBASS" LIKE I DID,THERE'S TO OF THOSE SHOPS,ONE HERE IN USA AND ONE IN THE UK SO MAKE SURE ITS THE USA ONE.
I ENDED UP WITH 2 A-10'S 1 FROM THE UK AND THE OTHER FROM HERE.,ABOUT $20.00 DIFFERANCE IN PRICE DUE TO SHIPPING FROM THE UK.
I TRIED TO CORRECT THE MISTAKE BUT,YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY A-10'S.
