Your A-10 is coming along very nicely, Herr von Rafstoffen! I'm curious what direction you'll be taking it. A Red Baron scheme perhaps?

Gotta love a Warthog ! I'll be keeping a close eye on this one... :D

Welcome! I'm interested in what this -S variant is. I loved the French Hornet!
Cheers,

I once saw a whole flight of them taxing around at Tulsa International one fine afternoon. They were all done in Lo viz with lizard pattern camo on all of them. Very impressive !!! Can't go wrong with lizard camo not to mention ,"which" lizard you copy ...

Hey, how's this A-10 coming along?
I'm anxious to see what makes this Thunderbolt so special!
Higher speed? Laser weaponry? Stronger but lighter armor?

Hi,
Thanks Logan.
The Thunderbolt IV S is a special version proposed to Saudi Arabia (desert color scheme), with new GNSS (global navigation satellite system), new superior weaponry, targeting pod, FLIR, new EWS, and new satellite communication extended capability.

Brilliant paint scheme! Great work on the decals too :)

Thanks! ;)

Looks a natural in that color scheme and Saudi markings.
Nice work!

-
Impressive!!
I've never been able to work out why the A-10 never found foriegn sales! Too specialised???
Post GW1, I could see Saudi's purchasing at least a Sq of them!

I love how you went with the SAF paint scheme. It really looks good on the Thunderbolt.

Yes - scheme and markings are convincing as being for real.
Though scheme is mostly tan-brown, I am green looking at its high quality :)
-
Thanks to all.
I try in all my what if projects to approach reality, or at least the reality that pleases me. I like when people say to me: "I didn't know that Saudis had A-10 and Wikipedia doesn't say anything about this!"
