John Starkey (22 W. Genesee St., Clyde NY 14433; E-mail: jstarkey@redsuspenders.com) built this colorful A-10 Warthog from Model Airplane News plans by Keith Sparks.

Two O.S. Max .25 FX engines fitted with Macs tuned pipes power the model. A four-channel Futaba radio handles guidance and the model is covered with MonoKote and UltraCote films. The decals were homemade using a PC and an inkjet printer.

The model has a wingspan of 60 inches and is 50 inches in length.
