Beautiful model! March 14, 2012
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Grand Rapids, MI United States  
This was for my husband who is a crew chief on the A-10 and just returned from a deployment to Afghanistan with the jets.  He loved the model and proudly took it to work to show it off!  It shipped quickly and arrived in excellent shape!
