This is the Hobby Boss A-10A, built with no after-market items (other than Xtradecals X006-48 decal set) but some adjustments being required to represent an A-10 based at Woodbridge (UK) in 1986.

I found the Hobby Boss kit a delight to build with no significant problems arising.

I thought long and hard about load out options but in the end decided to go with just a centre line fuel tank and an ALQ pod.  When the A-10’s trimmed the tree tops of East Anglia near to my home, they never carried any ordnance …. But they were, on reflection, “the good old days”!
