DO IT!!!!Stuart wrote: ↑Wed Sep 10, 2025 5:48 am So I picked up a copy of Scale Aircraft Modeler yesterday, which had a profile article on the A-10. The interesting thing was that the Italeri kit was considered THE kit of the A-10 in 1/72 until the Great Wall hobby kit came out. funny, I had no idea.
The other interesting thing was the full colour profiles including one for this... Yes I have decals on order. I love this JAWS scheme, ever since I saw it on the boxart onthe AIrfix kit.
Cheers!

I remember seeing that kit as a teen.

Re: Italeri 1/72 A-10A
Thanks, Stuart. The reason I asked is all too often I feel that kit selection is not the asked part of the model building equation and it’s important. I mostly get excited by plastic that was designed in the 1950s-1970s. I guess that corresponds to the golden era of production for Airfix, AMT, Aurora and others!
Make more models!
Re: Italeri 1/72 A-10A
Good one!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: Italeri 1/72 A-10A
Hey no worries Bruce - it's a fair question. To be honest I think I just picked this one up as it was the cheapest kit at the time, I didn't really know a lot about it. I've built a lot of older mouldings over the years - Airfix, Tamiya, Matchbox etc. and enjoy them when I do. However, for late Cold War subjects you're kind of stuck with later kits for obvious reasons.speedgraflex wrote: ↑Thu Sep 11, 2025 5:54 am Thanks, Stuart.
