Thanks for the dry-fit ... GWH do seem to have addressed some of the issues evident in other comparable A-10 kits which is awesome but have also missed the mark in others. An example of this is the GAU-8 cannon shroud, it looks very simplistic & cumbersome almost toy like. It really will depend, at least for me, on the shelf price ... this needs basic aftermarket to really sell that bbbbrrrrrttttt look we all know n love.

Thank you very much BarkingSpyda :) There were a few things that were disappointing, and that's the GAU-8/A part. The heat sink hole is not properly pierced, so I want to do a detail-up. MCC will be launching 3D printed GAU-8/A products.

Agree, cannon needs work or replacing.😮

Finally a great looking Warthog, by far the best one in 1/48 scale! Thanks a lot for your previous review of this kit and this dry fit presentation.

[@CallsignCooger]

Unless other manufacturers make new molds, Great Wall Hobby is the best at this point. Thank you very much Žach Han :)

Fantastic video Cooger! I love your content and I especially love the way you cover these topics. Very good editing and coverage. Thank you! Question, are you South Korean?

[@CallsignCooger]

Thank you very much! CR505 :) In the past, I only made preview videos and did live broadcasts of parts trimming...but I made it because I thought there would be a lot of modelers who would be curious about proportions. Answer : Yes, I am South Korean

@@CallsignCooger Right on. I was stationed in South Korea 2001-2002 with the US Army. The area / city was Uijeongbu. I was up at Camp Stanley with 2-2 Aviation, (UH-60 Blackhawks). We had a cool hobby shop on base as well. Loved my time in South Korea. Wish I could come back.

[@CallsignCooger]

Oh...You served in the military in Korea. Thank you for your service :) I heard that there are several facilities within the base, but there is also a hobby shop. I didn't know that.

@@CallsignCooger Thank you, it was my pleasure. I really enjoyed South Korea, the people and the culture. Camp Stanley was awesome. We did have a lot of facilities on base. The on base Hobby Shop was pretty close to our airfield. I started building models as a little kid and never stoped. I was so excited when I found the on base Hobby Shop. The guy who owned it had an amazing selection of models. Lots of aircraft, armor, etc. I miss S. Korea, I really enjoyed my time there. I hope to come back soon and bring my wife. Will be even more enjoyable now that I’m, “Grown Up” and not a kid 🫡😎🤝🫡

.....симпатичный набор,однако G.W.H заклепки сделали помесь внутренних с внешними а это минус......

[@GrubbyGrupper]

Looks like not a great fitting kit, lots of gaps near raised rivets good look keeping those. I will pass, thanks for the mockup

[@Fhelita]

A lot of the gaps are because of the dry-fitting using white glue, it's not representative of what it'd look using actual proper glue.

[@CallsignCooger]

Mr.Fhelita explained well why the gap occurred during temporary assembly :) The overall assembly is good, and it would be good to be careful when assembling the Bottom of the Main Wing and Horizontal Fins
