Show Me Your 30mm, A-10 Aircraft Rounds - PLEASE :-)

Maybe get one of these cockpits. Original A model. Steam gauges. You could always build on an extra room for it.

At least blow up this pic and make a poster.
 
I sectioned the windscreen on one of the od black AEROJET API-T projectiles to observe its core.

I see these fairly often in collections, but do not think they were ever adopted?

I have seen the variant marked with a red stripe to indicate, D u. This one is strongly magnetic and I believe steel or tungsten.

Excited to have just added some really nice new additions to the project.

Jason
PS: All HE projectiles are verifiable EMPTY & INERT

Jason, that's an amazing collection. The Hog is such a fantastic aircraft and I've been privileged to watch it shoot the gun on a few occasions. I have two GAU-8 rounds in my collection. The best being a depleted uranium PGU-14B/B casing but with a training round.

Do you source all your rounds from the UK? If not, any issues getting them into the country?

Thanks big time for your kind words. Are you in the US? Most of my collection is indeed from the US. Difficult to import nowadays.

Post some pics of your rounds when you can.

Here's my two rounds. The one on the right was bought at the Bovington Tank Museum back in the 90's. The round appears to be a machined solid piece of aluminium.

Both Very Nice! Thanks for the pictures. The one on the right appears to be modeled after the, GAU-9?
