Recently finished a repaint of the Power Team Elite A-10 Warthog in the Euro 1 paint scheme. Might have overdone the weathering a bit but turned out OK. Didn't realize how "out of scale" this A-10 was till I put it next to the BBI F-18 and it is seriously undersized (not 1/18). It's much easier to play with though.

in reality they be near the same length but the a-10 has a 13ft advantage on the f/a-18
can really tell that difference with the picture taken like that

If only BBI would make an A-10... It would be freaking awesome!!!
Nice customizing though. Just don't display it (or play with it) near the Hornet so the scaling issue is not so obvious. |

I seen tons of those at a Big Lots last summer, and wanted to get one, but didn't, cause I was working and it'd look funny carrying that back into work from my route truck.
Now, I've searched high and low and can't find one anywhere. I just about kill for one. Awesome job, btw. |

Looks great.
I think the PTE A-10 is in scale with the PTE F-18, which is quite a bit smaller than the BBI version (and fits Ace great). |

BBI did make an A-10 a while back, but it was more of a "toy" than the PTE version see attached photo = short and fat! If BBI made a real attempt, it would be an awesome bird.
I picked up this PTE A-10 at one of the local TRUs and there was another one there $29.99. Don't know if it is still there though as I haven't been back since. |

Great job on that! I've been debating whether or not to pick up one (to perhaps make into a rattler), but I really like what you've done.
