For Christmas, I got a Revell 1/100 Easy Kit of A-10:

Of course, I am going to remove weapons and shark mouth but not only: I will decrease its span and length, having the jets installed on the wings probably...

Before I butcherize the A-10, my son required that I show how it is normally... (minutes maid without glue nor cutter):

This will be a canard, with jets above the wings.

That looks cool! Wouldn't look out of place in some sci-fi flick! :)
-
Love the look, Tophe!
Since it's a bit smaller, perhaps only one engine mounted in back?
Either way, great mudfighter! :)

Neato! Has a distinctive star fighter feel to it now. Perfect for a good sci-fi movie 8) If you want to stay in the real world it strikes me as a possible parasite aircraft.
-
Thanks for the comments, friends!
The parasite idea is especially interesting, as I could let the sharkmouth on: aboard an observation aircraft, it would be released to frighten the attacking ones, without a single shoot, just showing teeths...

Great insight into A-10 reconfiguration :-*
Know I never would have thought of it.
Buy golly it works :)
-
it looks really happy in the head on pic lol

-
lovely !
a quite radical transformation, and keeping the shark mouth is nice ;)
-
Thanks a lot! (to pardon my bad skills)
