The Trumpeter A-10B N/AW sold quite well. Only one built !!

How do you know?  I wasn’t aware Trumpy (or any other manufacturer) released sales info for specific products.

 The fact that they seem to sell out rather quickly might support Smeds' point.

Given that Trumpeters business is truly international and not just focused on a few Western countries, I’d say that’s a pretty small sample size to use in determining how popular a kit is.

 You remind me of the Dilbert character Topper, so, you win.

I think he's probably referring to the aircraft itself, not the model of it.

And you win for the snarkiest post of the AM.  Way to keep things positive Lee.   I was simply trying to explain that sales of kits, for whatever reason, are closely held by pretty much all manufacturers.  Just going on the fact that a kit is sold out at a few outlets or your LHS really doesn't mean much.

I like the F-20, but I would rather have something like a Voodoo.

 

Or even an F-5A.

 

I couldn't agree more! I like the F-20 too, but would much rather see a 32nd scale F-5A/B, Voodoo, 102 or 106. I'd pass on a 32nd F-20. Fred K.

Pic was in the Science Museum in LA over the road from the USC campus. They also have a 2 seat SR-71 trainer and the Space Shuttle (Discovery?)...just don’t turn the wrong way and end up in South Central LA

Ditto. Norwegian RF-5A, and American RF-101C, F-101B, Deuce and Six. I can even hear the whistle of their turbojets shaking up my tinlets of 16473.

In the last ten years, I've read that Trumpeter have sold 25,000 kits of the A-10A. How accurate is that information? To be honest, I have no idea... (maybe about as accurate as anything else you read on the Web). I have three sitting in my stash, but that proves exactly "nothing". 

 

Cheers.

Lol. If it’s posted on the internet (or you hear a rumor at your LHS), it just has to be true.
