A 10 Loads.

According to one book I've got here a typical anti armor mission would see it carrying 4 Mavericks AGMs OR 6 Mk20 Cluster bombs on the pylons just outside each of the landing gear pods along with a ECM pod on one of the outer pylons.

But I guess this is really a stylistic question. Do you want your model to portray an actual mission or do you want to show it looking as "mean" as possible, fully stocked with everything it COULD carry?

Just found another reference which shows a load of 2 Mk83s and 2 Mk82s, the larger on the plyons just inside the landing gear pods and the smaller on the middle of the three outer wing pylons.

Hope that helps.

I left a piece of my scalp on the back corner of station 3 one late night during load training when I should have been paying more attention to where I was going. It's called a "Hog-bite" and, yeah, they called me "Stitch" for a while. You could say I got to know the A-10 up close and personal.

Sort of like the blood and skin I left on some deck grate covers changing the plugs in an M48 many years ago, and more than one lump on my head from going through the hatch too fast in a dark night. My nickname wasn't "graceful". :-)

Aaahhhh, the memories! Bill Shuey

Ahhhh yes the coveted bites yeah I have the marks myself Eagle bites Phantom bites and even a couple of Tweet bites (T-37)
