Ryan 833 Posted January 25, 2017 Mr Fisher, Have you thought of a set to correct the forward section of the Trumpeter A-10? Looking at the RF-8 Conversion you are releasing it seems you are the man for the job!

seiran01 3,828 Posted January 25, 2017 What's wrong with the forward fuselage other than level of cockpit detail? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 833 Posted January 25, 2017 I'm no expert, but the profile is off not to mention the canopy. I think if you look at few builds online most of them have commented and tried to sand out the nose. If I was Paul I'd slice up a 48th scale monogram A-10 to get the contours correct. Scale up to 32nd and make it graft able to the Trumpeter kit. Paul's set could include the nose section from just behind the canopy, the cockpit and new clear resin canopy. I think some holdouts on this kit myself included are waiting for a resin fix. 2 Youngtiger1 and D.B. Andrus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iain (32SIG) 9,683 Posted January 25, 2017 Yup - nose profile out in cross section - windshield centre pane too wide. I was going to improve the nose on mine with Milliput and a file - the Squadron vac canopy cures the windshield. Iain 1 Harold reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starfighter Jock 216 Posted January 26, 2017 A correct resin fuselage for the A-10 would be most welcomed, fixes can be done to the kit parts but requires a tremendous amount of time and effort to correct all that is wrong up front on the Trumpeter kit. I believe the Squadron vac canopies for the A-10 are no longer produced, so need to include that to. The Have Glass II canopy put out by AFV Club for the A-10 unfortunately made a direct copy of Trumpeter's canopy so it is also equally useless.
