That's because it is one with a few extra bits stuck on! Tons of old school sci fi props are repurposed existing items. The lightsaber, for example, is most of a Graflex brand camera flash with some 'greeblies'.

Pabs, I have a friend who is a professional prop maker and set dresser. He has worked on most of the big films that have been made in Australia - the Wolverine movies, the Star Wars prequels, Babe 2, Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Nice work, Bill. Some great detailing work. Do you leave the kits as standard or get the extra bits to super-detail them?
I love the A-10. Never seen a 2-seat version before. Back in '91, I was witnessing on a large job in Cambridgeshire, UK, during the Desert Shield/Desert Storm period. The US A-10s and F-15Es from Lakenheath were often flying over the site, which was next to a huge unused railway marshalling yard. Being a very flat part of the country, the planes were practising low flying at maybe often only 50-100ft. The A-10s would often do a really tight 180° turns within maybe two plane lengths, great to see.
Thanks Simon. That would have been a seriously spectacular sight seeing them carrying on on like that.
Most of the models have a lot of extra bits added, some from the aftermarket industry, some scratched out of wire, plastic etc. This shows a lot of scratchbuilding on a different kit.

The 2-seat A-10 was a prototype to see if Fairchild could get orders for it - they couldn;t. I think only 1 or 2 were made.

In my teens I used to build model airplanes as well. I only did Phantoms since I love the design of that fighterplane.
