Reid Air Publications is well known among modelers world wide for their fantastic aviation books that cater to the specific needs of scale modelers as well as anyone else with a passion for modern aircraft.  Each of their books focuses on one specific aircraft and is loaded with a huge number of photos show that aircraft in wonderful full color detail. 

The A-10 has been around for over thirty years, but books detailing the jet's intracacies have been few and far between. Following on from The Modern Viper Guide, The Modern Hog Guide explores the A-10 in all its glory, from the Desert Storm era, pre-LASTE A-10A, right up through the modern "glass cockpit" A-10C, all in beautiful, full-color photos.

Following on from the hugely successful "The Modern Viper Guide", this book is another absolute "must-have" for those wishing to know more about how the A-10 is built. Again working hand in hand with pilots and crewchiefs, this is the single most comprehensive detail-type book ever produced on the mighty A-10 Warthog. Full coverage of the early A-10 is included, as is extensive coverage of the modern A-10A, A-10A+, and the "glass cockpit" A-10C. 

Special emphasis is again placed on modern upgrade programs (Night Vision, LASTE, EGI-INS, Precision Engagement, etc.), along with modern weapons platforms (LITENING AT and Sniper targeting pods, GBU-38 JDAM, GBU-12, etc).

This is "THE" book to get if you are a scale modeler interested in a comprehensive book devoted to A-10 Warthog or for anyone with a passion for this jet.  

You can purchase this and other aviation publications directly from Reid Air Publications.  They have an ever growing selection of books that each focuses on a  different modern jet with  a large selection of photos geared towards modelers with a passion for getting all the detail right.
