I’ve been saying this to women for years. The size of your ‘gun’ doesn’t matter. 🍆
Yes. I would look, for example to see if the engines put a smoke mark on the tail section. And i could find out that the ‘camo’ on the A-10 is a very subtle combination of slightly darker and slightly lighter bluish grey. ……………….. https://www.flickr.com/photos/doneastwest/51594247924/in/datetaken-public/

Hey Don, hope you are well. Nice model! You painted it yourself based on clips you saw in documentaries if I understand it right?
Hey, Chris, would you pretend that you are a user and try to write a comment.? ………… I’m putting these dots in because the programming for the text doesn’t allow you to make a new paragraph. …………… I’m glad you are allowed to edit, but you are not allowed to scroll to where you want to edit. ……….in the last line, above about Covid, you will see a typo… « that » for « the ». ………. But i wasn’t allowed to access that part of the comment to correct it ………….. please complain for us and we’ll send you better comments. ……… ( if it is part of the problem, i am using an Apple iPad Pro, but that shouldn’t matter. ) ………….. hope you’re having fun.l……….. d.
Hi, Chris. …I don’t like to hear criticism about a gun that is bigger than a Volkswagen, but i am anti war in my actions and i accept your interesting views on how a Legend can build up, without a real cause. It happens all the time………. So i only have this to offer.: ……..The A-10 model in my living room…. https://www.flickr.com/photos/doneastwest/51591557322/in/datetaken-public/ …………… hope your days are good, despite that trouble you’re getting from the Covid situation. Don.
Sacrilege! Everyone knows that the gun on the Warthog is supreme!!! Seriously, thanks for debunking that myth.

So would you say that the gun is the secondary weapon to use when missiles/bombs run out?
