About product

Big Ed 1:48 for the Fairchild A-10A

The Big Ed 1:48 Fairchild A-10A package from the Czech maker Eduard brings several separately sold accessories for one kit together in a single common bag. The contents are metal and masking elements with which an already purchased plastic model is given detail that an injection mold cannot produce.

What made the A-10A exceptional

The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II came about in the 1970s for the close support of ground troops and entered US Air Force service in 1977. The whole design was subordinated to the seven-barrel GAU-8/A cannon, around which the machine is literally built, and to resistance against fire from the ground: the pilot is covered by a titanium bathtub, the controls are duplicated and both engines sit high above the tail out of reach of fragments. The letter A marks the original version with classic dial instruments, that is the form in which the aircraft also served over Kuwait and Iraq in 1991. The later conversion to the C version brought screens and new avionics, and that is why accessories for the two versions do not match.

How to work with photo-etch

The metal panels are separated with a sharp knife on a hard surface, bent in a bending tool or between two blades, and joined with cyanoacrylate glue applied with a pin. Color-printed parts are not sanded before seating. The places they go to are best cleared of the molded relief first.

Who the package is for

  • anyone interested in deep detailing of the cockpit and landing gear bays of the A-10A
  • builders of modern combat hardware in 1:48
  • those who prefer one package to hunting down individual sets
  • modelers who already have experience with small metal parts

The base plastic kit, glue and paints are not contained here, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is not. This is a collection of accessories used on an already purchased plastic model of the A-10A in 1:48.

It is not intended for that. The C version has a differently arranged cockpit and Eduard lists its own package for it under a different designation.

It is the trade name for a package in which the manufacturer joins several of its accessory sets for the same kit together.

A sharp knife, tweezers and cyanoacrylate glue will do. A bending tool for the metal strips makes the work considerably easier.
