I started with a new kit. The BAM pieces dropped in with minimal work. I'll post pics in a bit.

White box version came into one of my local stores. Great quality again. Little pricey for me (retail version is going to go for $115.00), but a nice kit.

I missed your talk in San Marcos (conflicting meetings). Will you have the chance to give it again in Madison? -

Search the site for Eldorado Canyon, there is a youtube link in a thread that should give you the answers you seek. -
My A-10 arrived, looks legit, we'll see when I start building it.

Finished last Friday Revell/Monogram F-9F-5 Panther. I used kit decals and the 2022 IPMS National decal sheet. I built it as the Royce William replacement jet, with two MiG kill markings. Sadly, it's a tail sitter. I filled the nose in with bb's but that wasn't enough.

Nice.

Are these resin or plastic parts? Best way to attach to a plastic part? CA or normal glue?

Looks like a Squadron a year for transition?

They found the wreckage, so no surprise.

Decals are done, clear coated; four small paint touch ups and the landing gear. I can see the finish line. Original plan was to put all 4 kills on it, but I only had two white MiG silhouettes, I'll add the last two at a later date. So this is marked as his replacement jet.

Building in spurts. I messed the first decals (stripe over the nose) up and had to wait in a replacement sheet. Looking at the decal I figured out that the nose stripe is slightly long between gun port cutouts. So I cut the front section off and applied it to the plane. I used an exacto knife to make small slits which allowed the decal to wrap around the nose. I'll put the rest of the stripe on in a day or so.

Thanks, they were advertising an Academy A-10C for $35.00 and free shipping.

My gmail feed had an ad from Ali Express for models at very low prices. (Academy A-10 for $35.00 for example) I never heard of Ali Express, a little digging tells me it's a Chinese Company. Are these legitimate models? Chinese knockoffs?

AF just released a graphic showing most (all?) testing essentially complete. Lot 1B aircraft delivered in a few weeks and a production decision made soon after.

I am going with the ALQ-119. Mississippi Air Guard with SEA wrap around scheme. The ResKit ALQ-119 arrived yesterday, so I can finish this in a week or so.
-
Many thanks to all who have answered my questions. I am waiting on a part from ResKit then I can get this one knocked out.
