coladito1 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hey Guys, I'm about to do the A-10A kit in 1/72 from Academy, not the greatest kit btw, and I was wondering what aftermarket goodies I could get for the kit, I'm most interested on a cockpit and decals for it. Any help will be appreciated, :) also, the reason why I'm doing this is to practice so that I can get a 1/48 scale kit, but I want to do it justice, I have never built an A-10 before and I was wondering what kit should be the best in that scale? I already have the monogram kit, but to be honest, I don't want to deal with scribing and re riveting the entire kit.... I mean, c'mon!! who do you guys think I am? Cyrus Tan?!! Thanks in advance!!

PoseidonSv Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Check Verlindens A-10A detial set, Eduard Etch or Aires Detail set or cockpit. Since Academys is a copy of hasegawas you can use sets made for Hase kit too. Aires set is made for Italeri and i am not sure how well it fits without some surgery.

Thank you, I did not know it was a rebox of the hasegawa! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PoseidonSv Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Biggest difference is the wings that are retooled with recessed panel lines on Academy and raised on Hasegawa. It is not a reboxing more of a plagiat of hasegawas kit. The best plagiat inprovement I think ia the Acadwemy U-2 kit which is a sort of copy of Airfix but improved alot.
