Reviews : Trumpeter A10A Thunderbolt II Single-Seat Fighter Plane

I recently picked up this model. The box is big and there is a lot in it. The contents are very well packed in plastic bags, and the Trumpeter box that holds the delicate and loose parts. My model also has two resin engines, white metal landing gear, a resin pilots’ seat, a string to build wheel chocks, and rubber tires. There are 12 bags that contain 16 gray sprues, Photo-3etched parts, and 3 clear sprues, including clear engine shroud parts to show off the resign engines. The instruction manual has 28 pages. The box art shows exactly how the “Warthog” will look when completed, top and bottom. This is a new boxing of an older Trumpeter kit with a trademark date of 2019. It has beautifully engraved panel lines and should build up nicely as these big Trumpeter kits do. It has 4 ordinance load examples to display its ability to carry a lot of ordinance. And a lot of ordinance is included in the kit, including the very prominent 30mm GAU-8/A Avenger gun Which looks to be a kit by itself. It has decals for Two aircraft. From a first look perspective, I would highly recommend this kit. Younger modelers will need supervision.

Very good kit. Did not have metal landing gears like everyone said. Kit called for 3ozs of weight in the front. Had to use 6ozs probably because I went with a max load of weapons.All parts fit well, a big model.

Great details some of them will not be seen unless built and left out of plane like gun and engines

Huge model worth the money has a few drawbacks but great kit highly recommend
