Hobby BossA-10 Thunderbolt II Airplane Model Building Kit

Great kit. Easy to assemble. Great detail.

WOW... so much detail.. no wonder U.S. companies are getting destroyed!

Great kit. Far superior to anything else on the market.

EASILY the champ in 1/48th Warthogs - very fine detail and EXTENSIVE ordnance choices. Warm your feet this winter by burning all your old RM A-10 boxes in the fireplace while you enjoy this model.

While the model has recessed panel lines, parts do not fit together cleanly without requiring sanding/filling. Deformities in plastic where alignment pins located, additional plastic deformities around cockpit requiring filling of fuselage due to molded-on interior detail. Very disappointing for a newer release model. I've been constructing kits for the past 30 years, this kit was like taking a step back in time when fit and quality were always an issue. Bottom line, save your money.

It took me a while to get this kit and I could not be happier. It gets 5 stars because it really is the best for the money. The panel lines and rivets are clean and detailed the kit itself may have a lower part count but no detail is lacking(see below). There is a truly stupefying amount of ordinance for this kit so go crazy or go super accurate. The kit is not perfect how ever. I found lite flashing on almost all pieces and one of the trees/sprues was covered in mold release and required extra cleaning. The gear are plastic but mostly single piece. Its a heavier kit so a stand wouldn't be out of the question. Real rubber tires though. The main gun is beautiful but has significant room for improvement as does the cockpit. I can't recommend a detail up parts kit for the kit but it needs one. The instrument panels are poor at best.

Very Nice Great Detail...

Package arrived almost two weeks before it was supposed to, was packaged very well, and was exactly as described by the seller.
