SPA Modeler

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!

This is the boxart I remember as a kit - always loved this scheme. (I'd like to think I could do a better job than that!)

I would not dare to try that right now. I am a bit surprised that Airfix did not get someone to spray this with an a/b. Perhaps they were modelling it for "everyman".

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!
