A-10 Warthog 1/16th Scale Snap Together Model

The A-10 has always been my favorite fighter jet and I knew it had to be next on my modeling/printing list. This model is really big - 45" x 40" but actually pretty easy to print and a lot of fun to put together. The wings and fuselage clip together while the back fins and engine attach via posts. I also used glue on mine for added strength. You'll need 38 clips for both wings and 16 for the fuselage. The largest part is Fuselage 3 at 172mm across. I modeled this in Sketchup.

If you plan on printing this, here are some tips:

1. Print the cockpit at a higher resolution. Take most of your time fitting the cockpit to the fuselage at the edges where they meet. This will save a lot of time during sanding, priming and painting. You can see on my photos that I used a lot of filler and didn't do a great job of sanding it smooth. If I had it to do all over, I would make sure the cockpit and fuselage fit together more seamlessly.
2. For the best fit possible with the clips, your bed needs to be as level as possible. I'd suggest printing the first two parts of the wing and two clips to see how close the snapped together parts are. If your bed isn't…
