I rarely do aircraft models but anything that pertains to modern military hardware never cease to facinate me so from time to time I stick my head into this subject. I recently acquired a Revell 1/48 scale A-10 Warthog kit now my question to you flyboys: are there any AM parts for this kit especially PE's? TIA.

I've had a look round and from what I can find there is very little about for the Revell A10. Eduard only list a pe set for the Tamiya kit. I'm pretty certain that Verlinden did/do cockpit detail sets in resin and a company called Maintrack Models did a set to convert the single seat version into the N/AW 2seater version.
However there are a fair few sets of am decals about.
Also for a good reference site look here

Some companies do custom decals at something like £3 for a a4 sheet.

cheers

I have the Verlinden super detail set for the Monogram kit, which I assume is the same as the Revell. Very nice needs a little work though.
I stalled while putting this kit together, I re-scribed the surface detail and closed the ailaron/airbrakes. I may be able to post some pics if you like?
