Tamiya
1/48 Scale
Following an experimental development program begun in the early 1970s, the Fairchild Republic Industries A-10 Thunderbolt II was selected for production. The performance characteristics demanded were for operation on unimproved short fields, both high and low airspeed maneuverability, easy maintenance, long loiter times and range, excellent pilot protection and a capacity for large mixed weapons loadouts. The A-10 entered service in 1976 and remains to be effective today, with no concrete plans to retire.
