Sebastijan Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hi everyone! This is just a little reminder that the Group build starts in a month and that you can start wiping the dust of your Hog kits or start spending money on them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Any tentative rules yet? How much preemptive work is allowed before start date? V/r Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toadwbg Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 This is tempting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Rules: Must be an A-10... Can fondle the plastic before! Cheers H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Tempting indeed! Maybe I'll get to move on the Italeri kit I had marked for the ANG/Reserves GB... (Damn! Thought it! Said it! Now it's doomed...!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benner Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I'm in of course, just haven't decided which particular A-10 to build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark M. Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I would love to join this, but don't have an A-10 right now. If, RL depending, I can scrape funds together for a kit in time I'd join in an instant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve N Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 This may be the motivation I need. I already have the kit, PE and decals..and I know exactly which aircraft I want to do.. Sadly, our A-10s were transferred to another unit a few years ago, and now our guard base just has some military Learjets..those will soon be gone as well, and our base will just be used for drone control. When the 110th was getting rid of all the Hog related stuff, they found the damaged engine cowl was still laying around..so it was "restored" and donated to the Kalamazoo Air Zoo.

Sebastijan Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Rules aren't set yet, but I'd say cockpit done is allowed, or armament done is ok... Also no what-ifs are allowed but I'd say I would bend a rule a bit and allow it for the N/AW version if anyone fancies doing it. I'll be building the bird, that got hit over Kosovo.

Winnie Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I may (yet again) join in this GB, and actually TRY to finish a build for a change! Will probably use my Italeri bird with bits and bobs from around. Have an RM model that may donate some stuff too. I will also try to fit a blackbox or verlinden pit in there, as I have those around!

Bummer, I was contemplating building a firehog. There was a proposal in the late 90s to convert A-10s into firefighting airtankers. There may have been a prototype but the idea never went anywhere, so pretty much what if territory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve N Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I've seen some concept renderings of the Firehog, but I don't think it ever reached prototype stage, as the USAF was unwilling to surplus a flyable aircraft. Personally, I've always wanted to build a Whiffer A-10 crop duster (Ag-Hog?) SN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Hold on with your thoughts as I said rules haven't been set, yet ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
