thanks guys . I am done with the prototype and have made the fighting compartment box using a full 2 gallon unit of RTV .
that is were I am at now.
I had a bad fall at work that ended up with me hurting my back, shoulder and breaking my wrist .
so I am down and out for 6-8 weeks or so.
Almost ready .
Everything scratched built except the rear deck and Panther donor .
$125 for the kit .
I have about 2 more days to finish the prototype.
I just checked out a post where people pledged over $150 , 000 for red girly figures !!
WOW !!!!!!!!!
Back in the heyday of 1/18th scale aircraft , it was a known fact that if you had $ 150,000 you could have 3, 000 of any plane made .
You could also have multi paint schemes in that...
Well it ell you If or one was pretty excited when Merit came on line with their forum .
My hopes were high about them building a A-10.
But my hopes were dashed when they said " buy more stuff that we offer then maybe we will build the A-10 " .
So once again we wait.
Thanks guys !!
Looks like not a lot of love for the rocket pod but I am not finished with it.
Some good news for the project .
it looks like I found a metal caster who can cast the landing gear in pewter or white metal at a VERY reasonable price. That is real good news .
My plan is...
As KT has stated the only thing that is kinda close is the cockpit .
The dementions for a full 1/18th scale A-10 are :
Wing span------------ 38 "
Wing cord-------------7
Length--------------35"
width stabilizer------13"
stabilizer cord. -------4"
height of rudders ---6.25 "

I have received the canopy and it looks good. Some minor issues but nothing that can't be worked out .
I am having comp issues AGAIN and am having problems posting pics.
I hate assholes who started playing with viruses .
Is there a way to make comps virus proof ?
I guess not , just...
Here is a Hind update.
The canopies are being processed now ( printed ) .
Hopefully they will be done and in my hands next week.
I have about 3 days now into the pointy rocket pod .
The rocket pod was / is a lot more challenging than I thought it would be .
Getting those oval...
No not yet we are still in the prototype mode .
I was trying to get one of the rocket pods built up but work interjected.
My 3-d guy almost has the canopies ready to print !!
3-D printing is an expensive way to go. But the cockpit that you see would have taken me about 3 weeks to build...
As far a munition options there are always options.
What the people want they will get .
I was just planning for a standard load out .
But the larger rocket pod and gun pod could be options but these things do make time to make and this will be a long project in the making.
Next to...
1. Yes the figs will fit but in order to fit them now , I had to pop their feet off. I will deepen the foot wells so this will not have to happen in the production kits.
2.Metal gear and rotor. I priced having metal gears made but it is a little cost prohibitive. So I just may do...
