Interesting, but a 2 seat A-10 was produced. Only two or three I believe. If I remember the canopy was one piece and opened up to the right and not up.

Since only one or two were made, and it never got out of the prototype stage, who's to say that a double canopy version as portrayed in the model would not have been the production version?

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

interesting, I also heard that all that lovely armour on the A-10 was only provided for the pilot on these beasts  ::)
