ACADEMY ACA12402 Model Kit, Various for ages 14+

A bit of a poor fit for nose piece

Had fun building this model.

Didn’t give 5 stars because of the significant amount of time having to file off flashing on all parts. Also, I knew the cockpit needed weight to balance out the plane when completed, but I had to use 5 nails and 5 split shot fishing weights before it would sit on the front tire. Had to use the whole wheel-well for weights. Otherwise the quality is great and it looks pretty good even without paint.

Great kit. I was happy it had Moody AFB tail letters seeing as I grew up in Valdosta, Ga. And also pretty cool it has the Killer Chick's markings. Went together well with no issues. Great for a beginner which I was when assembling the kit. It is a tail sitter so wrap some pennies in tape or throw some lead fishing weights. I didn't know that so I made a tail stand out of cockpit sprue.

Wonderful bonding experience for father and son. It takes a long time but the end result is so rewarding.

Christmas gift for my grandson. He enjoys this.

Fun build easy to assemble easy instructions to follow you can build this kit in two days only because of painting one day if you just want to build something quick and fun.

Pros: - Nicely detailed for 1/72, with recessed panel lines. -Great armament selection included Cons: -Difficult to piece the fuselage halves together, this model has bad seam lines everywhere - Unless you add weight to the front before glueing halves together, it's a complete tail sitter. I didn't put enough in there and didn't realize till the engines were added as it fell backwards. Too late to fix that - Decals were ok, but didn't really stick well. The front shark mouth was particularly tricky to set correctly around the curved nose It's maybe 3 stars because of how painstaking it was to build. Majority of this model just didn't seem to want to fit together without effort and patience. If you're looking for a flawless fit and finish, this one will require good filling and sanding skills that I just did not have the patience for. But in the end it looks good for casual builders who may not care as much

Ich liebe es, wenn Bewaffnungsoptionen durch eine üppige Mold mit vielen Waffen bei einem Kampfflugzeug mitgeliefert werden. Das Modell hat die Üppigkeit der Hasegawa A-10C in 1/72 aber um den halben Preis! Die Teile für das Umrüsten auf das C Model fehlen klarerweise. Trotzdem wohl die beste A-10A in 1/72!

Me gusto armarlo, aunque las bombas sean dificiles de colocar (para mi) y el muy tonto de yo no supo que las pegatinas se ponian en agua, esta shido

It was a fun model to build.

ハセガワA-10Cのコピーです。モールドが凹なので見栄えいいのですが複雑な心境です。ハセガワA-10Cが素晴らしいフォルムなので凹モールドになるとハセガワを超えてしまいます。このキットはドロップタンクが無いですが武器が全ステーション埋まるだけあります。

Comperato da amazon eu a 17.74 Aereo molto grande e soddisfacente di buona qualità academy.

Gli altri venditori pompa vano troppo il prezzo
