Fairchild A-10A Thunderbolt II - 74th Fighter Tactical Sqn. Diecast Airplane Model by Corgi

Product Description

Designed specially for the close air support mission and with the ability to combine large military loads, long loiter and wide combat radius, the A-10 proved to be vital assets to America and its allies during Operation Desert Storm. In the Gulf War, A-10s, with a mission capable rate of 95.7 percent, flew 8,100 sorties and launched 90 percent of the AGM-65 Maverick missiles. A-10s were seldom grounded due to maintenance problems or conditions unsuitable for flying during Operation Desert Storm. No other aircraft could carry as much ordnance over a target for so long, dole out and take as much punishment, and return to an unimproved field to turn around quickly and strike at an enemy again.

Scale: 1/72, Wingspan: 9.75", Length: 8.75
Loose Parts: (not suitable for young children)
Fully assembled.
