This model represents the Fairchild Republic A-10C Thunderbolt II in the special livery of the USAF A-10 Demonstration Team based at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in 2020. The 1:72 scale kit recreates the aircraft used for air shows and demonstration flights. This is a limited edition of only 1,000 kits worldwide.
Kit features:
The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II was developed as an attack aircraft designed primarily to destroy armoured vehicles and provide close air support for ground forces. Its distinctive design, with two engines mounted high on either side of the fuselage, a straight wing and an armoured cockpit, was optimised for durability and effective operation at low altitudes.
The upgrade to the A-10C standard introduced digital avionics, modern navigation systems and the ability to use precision-guided weapons. The aircraft retained its most recognisable weapon: the seven-barrel 30 mm GAU-8/A Avenger rotary cannon.
The A-10C Demonstration Team based at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona showcased the aircraft's capabilities at air shows and commemorative flying events. During the 2020 season, the team's activities were significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in the cancellation of several planned appearances and a greater focus on demonstration flights around its home base.
