December 2020 -- 1/72 Academy A-10A modified to C standard.
The gentleman who requested this one also managed to track down in Spain (?) the sadly out-of-print Caracal decal sheet featuring Air Guard A-10s. (Good job Jim!) We are both Michigan residents, so it was clear which choice would result. (If you haven't used them, Caracal decals are about as good as they get.)
Jim also wanted a full load of weaponry. It's been years, maybe decades since I packed so much stuff under a warplane. Gotta admit, it looks pretty cool.
All in all I found the kit to be above average, although the opening half of the canopy didn't fit very well in the closed position. Also ground out the the front fan blades of the engines and replaced them with a solid styrene disk. Stationary fan blades in this in-flight presentation signals out of gas.
The real kit goof, and I didn't see it until I could do nothing about it, is the seat location in the cockpit. It's too far back, making the pilot also too far back. Hopefully there's enough good stuff going on with the model, that that error can be overlooked.
