Sebastijan Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Welcome to A-10 Thunderbolt II group build - sponsored by CARACAL MODELS. Warthog doesn't need any special introduction. Armed with mighty 30mm 7-barrel GAU-8 gun shooting rounds made of depleted uranium, it is today's tank driver's worst nightmare. Concieved in late '70s at the height of Cold War the Hog was facing chopping block at the end of the '80s with the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and Soviet Union. Luckily for the plane a moustached man called Saddam, decided to invade a little oil-rich country called Kuwait. Unfortunately for Saddam, Kuwait had a lot of powerful friends and one of the planes, send to help was A-10. And though it was designed to annihilate onslaught of Soviet tanks in the Fulda Gap,the Hog wreck havoc for the first time in the Middle-East desert and did it with honours. Ever since, Hogs were looked upon as a very valuable asset that can do many roles and is able to take a lot of beating in the process. Rules: - any scale is eligible - no what-ifs, not even for a twoseater - model should not be started (minor work is allowed, like finished cockpit, munitions or similar) - each participant should open an in progress thread - there will be a raffle at the end - to be eligible for the draw you should post your finished model in the Debriefing (gallery) - and last but not least - HAVE FUN!

Bigasshammm Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Flipper experimental camoed hog with ordnance on it count as a what-if or is it cool? Idk if they ever hung anything from it but they did have an A-10 painted this way. I don't really want to do another gray or euro 1 A-10. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'd give it a green light since it's plausible. Most of the modelers put on unrealistic armaments on their Hog models anyway... <_< Quote Link to post Share on other sites
