Sorry I didn't answer some of your questions about the A-7. Indeed, the Modeldecal sheet does not come with markings for the tanks. I had to mix Testor's...

WOO HOO! Squadron just listed a Siga 1/72 AM-1 Mauler as a future release available for pre-order. Description sez markings include VA-84, VA-74, NAS Dallas....
If you can't wait for the Siga item, I found an excellent, all-resin Mauler from Aviation Usk a few years ago. Good decals, and all those underwing things that...

... Just curious: Why an FJ-2, which IIRC, served only with Marine air squadrons, rather than the far more numerous FJ-3? (Then again, I'm a sucker for those...
I figure once I've got an FJ-2, the -3 should be easy. The intake was enlarged, and otherwise the airframe was pretty near the same. Watch out for the wings,...
It would be nice having a good kit of the -2 or -3 . Any interest out there in a F3D-2 Skyknight?? ... From: Paul Boyer <pboyer@...> To:...

There's always the so-so Matchbox kit, but it's hard to find. It would be nice if a better rendition was available, but it's not a real money-maker. Paul D....
I've asked before, but didn't get much of a reply about the 1/72 scale. What's the best A-10 kit out there? Also, does anyone know of any decals made...

I think most everyone agrees that the Italeri is the best "hog" out there in 1/72. It has the most up-to-date mods and recessed panel lines. Detail is pretty...
Hello Chris, I think the best A-10 in 1:72 is Italeri. You can get a bunch of aftermarket stuff for this: Aires - 7050 cockpit set Airwaves - AC72045 PE set ...
Chris I too consider the Italeri Hog to be the best in 1/72ND scale. Sadly it appears that there are no decals in current ptoduction for an England AFB ...

Hi, with the F3D kits it seems to be as with the 1:1 model. It was never spectacular and never outstanding. It did not earn too much affection as it is given...
Also, don't forget that Italeri makes TWO A-10 kits - a "regular" A-10 and an "OA-10" model. Don't be fooled by the OA-10 label though, it can be built as an...
Hi all, I haven't been able to contribute to the forum as much as I would have liked to, so here is my chance to correct that. I just picked up the new 1/72...
