Italeri 001376 1/72 Scale A-10 A/C Warthog/Thunderbolt II 'Gulf War'

The A-10 Thunderbolt II was developed by Fairchild Republic in the seventies with the purpose to create, accordingly the needs of USAF, a powerful aircraft capable to perform close air support missions including attacking tanks and armoured vehicles. The Thunderbolt II is heavily armoured and exceptionally tough. It is characterised by the two General Electric turbofan engines and the adoption of one of the most powerful aircraft gun ever flown : the 30 mm. GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling.

Thanks to its eleven underwing and under fuselage pillars, the A-10 can also carry an impressive offensive pay-load. The A-10 was used in combat for the first time during the Gulf War in 1991 and it has showed its operational effectiveness claiming to destroy some 900 enemy tanks.

This kit includes exceptional detail and markings for 4 aircraft, including two from the Gulf War.
