Here is my Great Wall Hobby 1/48 Warthog, built to represent a plane from the 354th Fighter Squadron "Bulldogs" deployed to Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, in 2017 to fly missions into Syria and Iraq. I think I may have added more aftermarket accessories to this kit than any other I've built: - Eduard photo-etched HUD - Mini Craft Collection Aces II ejection seat - Quinta Studio 3D cockpit decals - Quickboost opened fuel access panel - ASK GAU canon head with cover - Detail & Wonder landing gear - Master pitot tube - Eduard GBU-38s - Eduard AGM-65 - ResKit GBU-31 - ResKit GBU-12s I painted the model with Mr Hobby Aqueous and Tamiya acrylics. The decals are mostly from Speed Hunter Graphics (48017 War-Weary Warthogs), but I used a few of the kit's decals as well. I've been working on this off and on for well over a year, so I'm glad it's finally done! Any critiques are most welcome! -Justin

Here is my first contribution to this GB: 1/32 Trumpeter A-10A converted to a A-10C. The chosen scheme is Indiana ANG Black Snakes. I bought this kit cheap as it had been started by someone else. The guy had glued the front fuselage together and that was it. I ended up sawing the front fuselage to eliminate the kit's cockpit and insert the Aires resin cockpit updated with Harold's A-10C miniset which I highly recommend. I don't think I have done it justice, but I am a modeler of moderate skills. I underestimated the amount of work this kit represents as the fit is really not great. Anyway I hope to restart it with your help and finish it because this is an airframe I really like. I see that Mr. Fisher may come up with a corrected front fuselage and it will prompt me to do another one, but changing the front profile as Chuck did on his is really beyond my skills. Here are the box shot and what currently lies within the box, kinda depressing but I will get it done. Cheers, David

**edit** With a firm arrival date of 8 May, I will now accepting preorders. However, this date may fluctuate a few days either earlier or later than the 8 May target date. Thanks everyone!! http://www.reidairpublishing.com Back by popular demand, the Modern Hog Guide is now at the printers. Like The Modern Eagle Guide's 2nd Edition, the 2nd Edition of the Hog Guide offers more/better coverage of all A-10s, but especially the older, pre-LASTE jets. It also covers the recent upgrades to the jet since the original edition was published 10(!) years ago, such as the SATCOM, Scorpion HMIT, and AAR-47 system. The 2nd Edition has 172 pages (compared to only 120 pages for the original release), and 1,013 full color images. Nearly all of those images are new for this edition, with only a handful of repeats that are found in the original. It's now at the printers. Depending on their schedule, I expect it to be available by early May. It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since the first Hog Guide came out!!
