Description
Scale model 1/48 Aircraft Blacksnakes Italeri 2725
This large twin-engine aircraft was built for the US Air Force as a close support aircraft and as a tank destroyer. Heavily armored in all vital areas and equipped with heavy launch and landing weapons, the A-10 is nevertheless a highly maneuverable aircraft at low altitudes, a skill essential to survivability in an anti-aircraft response. The Thunderbolt is practically built around the powerful 30mm GAU-8 gun, which is capable of piercing armor thanks to its exceptional ballistic qualities and special ammunition. Around the mid-2000s, the A-10 in the "C" version was refined to better adapt to changing operational needs.
