Tank Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Is this a real thing? My Googlefu was weak. It’s the same old Hasegawa plastic but dang it looks pretty. Wonder if the parts could used on a Zvezda kit. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/m/image/10635994 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hemspilot Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Bah! Not the real thing. Just a cheap way for fool-Egawa to steal your money. Thay did the same thing with the A-10, the Su-33 and the F-16. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 When I saw the box art for the A-10 a day or so after posting I got the same feeling. The idea seems interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) At least the A-10 UAV was tested by DARPA. https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2012-02-24/unmanned-10-studied-future-close-air-support Sounds like a logical concept for Persistent CAS.

If you want persistance you use a drone designed for persistance, not any jet. Deliverable payload is a different story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
