A-10 WARTHOG KIT 1181 85118110200

The Thunderbolt II carries the official name of one of the most famous fighters in history, but its unofficial name of “Warthog” is a more apt description. The A-10's "Thunder" comes from it's powerfull GAU-8/A 30 mm nose cannon. Although the shape of the A-10 borders on the grotesque, it’s actually the result of some careful engineering. The pilot sits in the extreme nose of the airplane for visibility. He is protected from ground fire by an armored titanium “bucket”. The twin 9,055 lb. thrust General Electric TF-34 turbofan engines are separated from the fuselage to reduce the possibility of damage to both engines from one hit. Even when the landing gear is retracted, a portion of the main tires extend out of the airplane to make a “belly landing” less dangerous. The A-10 is designed to remain flyable even if large areas have been damaged or blown off. 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.

NOTE: When applying stickers, avoid touching the “sticky” side to prevent finger prints on stickers. Bend sticker sheet slightly to lift edge of sticker & use a finger nail to lift sticker from sheet. Line up sticker on body and press an edge into place, slowly working sticker with a finger nail until sticker is fully on model.

REMARQUE : Pendant l’application des autocollants, éviter de toucher à la face collante pour ne pas laisser d’empreintes. Plier légèrement la feuille d’autocollants pour relever le bord d’un autocollant, et le détacher de la feuille avec le bout d’un ongle. Aligner l’autocollant sur la carrosserie, appuyer pour coller un de ses bords, et continuer de l’appliquer lentement du bout de l’ongle jusqu’à ce qu’il soit complètement collé sur le modèle réduit.

Bonus stickers are included on the sticker sheet. You may place them wherever you like on your model or

wherever you want!

NOTE: AFTER SLIDING PART # 17 INTO PART #16, SLIDE BACK TO LOCK INTO PLACE.
