1/72 Academy A-10 OIF Diorama

by QC Tan

--------------------

 

The A-10 Warthog continues with its amazing history and legendary record, I was inspired to build one after reading Cpt Kim Campbell's story . ..And of course, Academy happens to just have the exact kit and Decals! ... what better way to model a storyline than to show what the A-10 can do (before being shot up).  I'm sure that together with the M-1 Abrams tank, the combination of A-10 and M-1 is a formidable partnership that will remain into the future (..sorry to those Apache fans). This Diorama applies lots of artistic license (due to space constrains... 'who fired the missile?',... 'are you crazy to fly so low?', etc.. )
