Before I start (if I decide to) modding the cockpit at a later date, I had to change out the pilot at least. I had one that was from HK and their F18 (although people used it in a CMP T-45 and fit perfect) complete cockpit offered long ago. I painted the pilot figure, added some detail, changed the mask coloring, and adjusted the arms. He looks to be a much better match in size. He sat a little lower, so had to rise him up a bit on some balsa on top of the cutout foam from the cockpit seat. He now sits pretty nicely in there.

What I'd like to see and find out is the manufacturer/supplier of these prepainted models Hobbyking used to sell, and see if they are still making these. If not, if there is a way to begin putting these back into production and see if Motion could sell amazing pilot figures like these. It would depend if they would find it worthwhile. Maybe they already know who used to manufacture these in China, and have a business connection over there to get these made again.

Finally got her done, radio set up and ready to fly...
Wow, the decal set took forever. I think I could have put together 10 A-10's in the time it took to apply them... I took my time and although not perfect I am quite happy...
Did anyone else have the sidewinder missiles fins all bent up? Mine were pretty bad, all jammed down in the bottom of the packaging slot.
No maiden today with 13 to 18 mph cross winds at the field...
Will upload flight video when I do. Just got a Mobius camera from Motion and will be going along for the ride...5 Photos

Yeah, I doubt they'll fit together in a 76cm bag. However, the wings do fit perfectly in the 76cm bag with just one wing in each bag, which I why I purchased two originally, to keep them separate from one another.

My fins were bent. I'm afraid to break them by bending them back in place. I've done that before.Currently flying: Twin 80mm A-10, 80mm F5, 80mm A6, 70mm Yak-130, 70mm F-16v2,90mm Stinger 90, 70mmRC Lander F9F, Flightline F7F TigerCat, Phoenix 46 size Tucano, Flyzone L-39
