1/140 A-10 Warthog USAF

Description

This is a die-cast metal and plastic display aircraft.

From the item’s packaging:

During the late 1960’s, the United States Air Force ordered a new close air support aircraft. The A-10 Thunderbolt II more commonly known by its nicknames “Warthog” or “Hog” is a cantilever low wing all metal monoplane. The enclosed cockpit is well forward of the wings and the bullet proof windshield protected the pilot with a titanium bath tub structure. The A-10 was designed for short term response against enemy armored vehicles. The main feature of the plane is a nose mounted 30mm GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling-type cannon. One of the most powerful aircraft cannons ever flown. It fires large depleted uranium armor piercing shells.

This is a fully assembled and beautifully finished model of an aircraft. Includes a display stand.
