| Hobby Master A-10A " PEANUT " 917th TFW HA1303 Today i got my HM A-10A ''Peanut'' 917th TFW HA1303 and i'm very happy to see Hobby Master corrected the tail area of their A-10's. This is really one fine looking diecast and if you like the A-10 Warthog this is a must have. Hobby Masters did a outstanding job with A-10A IMHO...Now a little history on this bird here... This A-10A was tested by the USAF trying to develop better camouflage for Desert Storm there were only two two experimental camo schemes for this project in 1991.This A-10A was known as "peanut" because of the brown looking camo and there was another known as "fliper" with a similar gray scheme Only after the experiment with the two different camo patterns they both were not chosen for use. Peanut later went back to the usual gray paint scheme we see today and never got the chance to go to Desert Storm. Anyway here are my pictures and enjoy. | |||||||||||||

| Re: Hobby Master A-10A " PEANUT " 917th TFW HA1303 When can we expect to see some "typical" paint jobs with the new corrected-tail mold? I'd love some of the current demo planes they use at airshows. | |||||||||||||
