discussion Review for an Airfix Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II 1/72?

[Guest]

I've always wanted to build an A-10 so i thought i would finally get to it. I've spotted one and i would really like to know if anyone has experience with an A-10 and whether its worth getting.

Hi dan , ive personally not had any experience of the airfix kit but i do know its an older tooling with raised panel lines, so for about the same money id say the academy kit would be a better bet. The academy kits always seem to fit together really well and are usually well detailed and have good decals, another option is the hasegawa kit but youre getting more expensive and probably no better than the academy offering. Hope this hasnt confused you more!! cheers tony

After my initial experience with airfix as my two first model builds... then moving to a Revell model.... I'd never got back to Airfix.... anything else is better!
