Reviews : Tamiya A-10 Thunderbolt II

A fun build after a frustrating Revell model. I always go to Tamiya to get my quality fix. The usual attention to detail. I spent a lot of time detail painting the engines, which were then hidden; gotta love Tamiya. Great decals, especially in the cockpit. Don't be like me and forget to put them on until the cockpit is completely built and installed! Read the instructions dummy! Modeled after the planes I used to see in Myrtle Beach. They are incredibly intimidating overhead. Made me glad they were on my side.

The Good: Excellent detail, great decals, large number of parts, awesome weapons load. The Bad: None come to mind. This is one of the best model kits I've done. The interior and exterior detail are very good, parts fit together very nicely, decals are great and the number of weapons supplied with the kit is amazing. Oh yeah, and the 30 mm cannon. The plane is fairly large (about the size of B-25 bomber). Overall, a super fun kit - highly recommended.

This is an excellent kit from Tamiya. One of the best A-10s on the market. The fit of the pieces is good, the decals are good, and the details are good. The amount of bombs that come with the kit is unbelievable as well. The instructions were easy to follow like all Tamiya kits.

I started a Revell version of the A-10. The fit was so poor, I threw it out and got the Tamiya version. I could not have been happier. Tamiya does a fine job with fit and structural integrity. Exceptional.

as usual, Tamiya produces another excellent model. Unbelievably armed. But hey, it is what it is. Went together as a dream and all the options make it hard to chose. I am now looking for more Tam products.

I would give this Model a 5 Star rating. A Quote from the pilot who flew this plane, (Extremely detailed and accurate). This model is very well made and went together very well.

Enjoyed building a model other than cars. Only issue with this build, the fuselage did not line up even on part of the top section. Light file and sanding corrected.

this is a great kit for beginners and advanced hobbyists. parts were of the best quality and easy to assemble.

Nice model kit and easy to assemble. Good instruction for assembly and painting.

Was impressed.Tons om weapons .Various options.A good kit at a decent price.

Raised panel lines, clunky fit, no markings for weapons whatsoever.
