A-10 Thunderbolt II

The appearance of the A-10 is remarkable while its performance is amazing. Known affectionately as the "Wart Hog" by its pilots, it's a large single seat aircraft, identified by a pair of TF-34-100A high bypass fan jet engines mounted high near the rear of the twin tailed fuselage. A few of the specifications are: Length 53' 4"; height 14'8", span 57'6"; maximum gross weight 47,400lbs, including 16,000lbs of external stores. Internal armament is the GAU-8/A 30mm Gatling cannon capable of 2100 or 4200 rounds per minute. It carries 1350 rounds of ammunition, a fire control head-up display, CRT TV monitor, laser spot seeker plus a diversified armament panel that can facilitate any operational need. The A-10 has been around since 1972, and has again proven its worth during the recent Gulf war.

"Easy to build kit!"
StevenSnodgrass7037
I started a Revell version of the A-10. The fit was so poor, I threw it out and got the Tamiya version. I could not have been happier. Tamiya does a fine job with fit and structural integrity. Exceptional.

"A10 Model Review - Built for an A10 Pilot Friend"
robert.keim (Westerville, OH)
I would give this Model a 5 Star rating. A Quote from the pilot who flew this plane, (Extremely detailed and accurate). This model is very well made and went together very well.

A fun build after a frustrating Revell model. I always go to Tamiya to get my quality fix. The usual attention to detail. I spent a lot of time detail painting the engines, which were then hidden; gotta love Tamiya. Great decals, especially in the cockpit. Don't be like me and forget to put them on until the cockpit is completely built and installed! Read the instructions dummy! Modeled after the planes I used to see in Myrtle Beach. They are incredibly intimidating overhead. Made me glad they were on my side.
