Just :roll: around here , I stumbled upon this NEW BOOK, I say its new because I've never seen it and I have basically \"95% of the books out there\"

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0979506425

The Modern Hog Guide: The A-10 Warthog Exposed

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
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 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).

So it even has the A-10C mods listed.

Its on my list!

BTW, guys, amazon only has one copy left as I post this. But you can also buy direct from the publisher for the same price:

This is a pretty cool book, as it is basically an A-10 walk around with a ton of photos. And yeah, has the C model upgrades in photos. Definitley worth the money!

Just received mine. I'd say this is one of the best walkaround books I've ever picked up. Wall to wall photos, with nary a rivet left unturned. Modelbuilders will love it!
