Product Description
| A model or a print? | Our models reveal more than diecast ever will, AND never need dusting. |
We are releasing this model on May 10th. You can order it now and we will ship when it is available.
This wood model features a full cutaway of the A-10 Thunderbolt II, a.k.a. "Warthog", with exterior view in flight just above the model. The squadron emblem and nameplate are to the left and the front view and planform are on the right. The A-10 wood model is easily tailored to individual aircraft marking requirements.
We labored over A-10 repair manuals, flight manuals, old videos, and photographs of Warthogs being repaired to bring you details that you cannot find anywhere else. We also have the F-4 frame numbers which give us the exact number of inches the frame is from the nose. When combined with knowing the height and position of the longerons, we had a grid to use to accurately lay out the F-4 components.
The focus of the A-10 model is the cutaway and spans the length of the frame. The exterior of the Warthiog is directly above the cutaway, so comparisons can easily be made. Key features include:
- "Titanium bathtub" that protects the pilot.
- General Electric 30 mm hydraulically driven seven-barrel Gatling-style autocannon
- General Electric TF34-GE-400A turbofan engines
- The AIM-7 missiles are embedded in the side of the fusalage with the fins visible behind the frames.
- The AIM-9 Sidewinders are on pylons hanging off the wings.
- AN/AWG-10 Radar is in the nose.
Size: 22" x 9"
We can also customize this cutaway with any serial number or markings. The design will remain the same as pictured, but will carry your desired serial number and markings. Please allow three to four weeks for delivery on custom items as they need to be built from scratch. Once completed, we can also use the artwork to make coffee mugs, t-shirts, and magnets.
