Italeri A-10 Gulf War
Super Decals Sheet for 4 Versions
The A-10 Thunderbolt II was developed by Fairchild Republic in the seventies to meet the USAF's need for a powerful aircraft capable of performing close air support missions, including attacking tanks and armoured vehicles. The Thunderbolt II is heavily armoured and exceptionally tough. It is characterised by its two General Electric turbofan engines and the adoption of one of the most powerful aircraft guns ever flown: the 30 mm GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling gun. Thanks to its eleven underwing and under fuselage pylons, the A-10 can carry an impressive offensive payload. The A-10 was first used in combat during the Gulf War in 1991, where it demonstrated its operational effectiveness by destroying more than 900 enemy tanks.
