Created specifically to support troops in a ground attack role, the A-10 is incredibly maneuverable. It is slow for a modern jet aircraft, with a top speed of only 423 mph, but it can carry up to eight tons of ordinance to deliver the knockout punch to enemy armored vehicles.
FEATURES:
- 1/72 scale plastic kit is for static display.
- 36 detailed gray parts that snap together - no glue necessary; no paint necessary.
- Straight, flat wings allow the A-10 to carry a heavy load of weaponry.
- Twin turbofan engines are mounted outside and above the rear fuselage.
- The A-10's main weapon is the GAU-8A 30mm cannon found in the nose.
- Weapons carried by the bulky A-10 are found under the wings on a multitude of hardpoints.
- The A-10 pilot sits in the extreme nose of the airplane for visibility purposes; the cockpit is a single-seat area.
- The A-10 is designed to remain flyable even if large areas have been damaged or blown off.
