Cloud in the Wind Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Greetings modelers. I'm hopeful that someone has come down this path before me before I start carving up a fairly rare kit. In my stash is a Heller A-10 kit and a RetroWings Cockpit detail set. I got them separately after a bit of searching swap meets and ebay, knowing that RetroWings states that their set is made for LS and Revell's version of the warthog. The fuselage parts are somewhat different, but holding the parts up together, I really can't tell if there will or wont be any scale or fitment problems. Has anyone tried this pairing? and if so, any advice or warning before I break out the grinder? https://www.scalemates.com/kits/heller-79912-a-10-thunderbolt-ii--147114 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/retrowings-rw44034-a-10-warthog-cockpit--964005 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattP Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) OK, this is just my opinion having the LS's A-10, DML A-10, Heller's A-10 as well as Revell's A-10. The 'RetroWings' is a perfect fit for the LS kit. The Heller kit is really only good for the pilot figure and the interior leading edge extensions. I'm at work right now but I'll show you pix when I get home. Nice to see another 1/144 scale moder here. We really don't get a whole lot of help on this forum. To be fair, not many people here build in 1/144. You might try here in the future: Kampfgruppe144 BBS - Index page Edited January 22 by MattP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
