This limited-edition kit represents the Fairchild Republic A-10C Thunderbolt II flown by the USAF A-10C Demonstration Team based at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona during the 2021 airshow season. The 1:72 scale model features the distinctive demonstration team livery of this famous American ground-attack aircraft.
Kit features:
The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, also known as the "Warthog", was developed specifically for close air support and the destruction of armoured vehicles. Its rugged construction, armoured cockpit and twin engines mounted high on the rear fuselage were designed to improve survivability during low-altitude combat missions. Its most distinctive weapon is the seven-barrel 30 mm GAU-8/A Avenger cannon.
The A-10C is an upgraded version featuring modern digital avionics, improved navigation and targeting systems, and the ability to employ precision-guided weapons. Despite these upgrades, it retains the original aircraft's specialised close air support role.
The Davis-Monthan A-10C Demonstration Team, part of the 355th Wing, showcased the aircraft's flight characteristics and operational capabilities at airshows across the United States and abroad. The team also took part in "Heritage Flight" formations, flying alongside historic warbirds and modern fighter aircraft. Captain Haden "Gator" Fullam served as the demonstration pilot during the 2021 and 2022 seasons.
