About product

A-10C Thunderbolt II 355FW Special Marking 1:72 (Hasegawa)

An injection molded plastic kit of the A-10C Thunderbolt II attack aircraft in 1:72 scale from the Japanese manufacturer Hasegawa. It is a special edition with a striking marking that refers in the name to the US 355th Wing. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted; check the actual contents of the box and the extent of the decal sheet against the packaging.

The real subject

The A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American single-seat twin-engine aircraft intended for close air support of ground troops. It is characterized by the combination of a large straight wing, two turbofan engines housed in nacelles on the sides of the rear fuselage and a massive 30 mm rotary cannon installed lengthwise in the nose. The design is deliberately laid out for survivability: the cockpit is protected by an armored bathtub and a number of systems are duplicated. The A-10C version is a later upgrade with thoroughly reworked avionics, new displays in the cockpit and the ability to work with precision guided munitions.

Building and painting tips

Glue the model with a thin cement for polystyrene, which wicks into the joints and leaves the surface clean. Before painting it is worth laying down a filling primer, because uniform gray schemes show every scratch and every imperfect joint without mercy. Mask the canopy glazing precisely, and with two-tone gray camouflage it pays to spray from the lighter shade toward the darker one. The decals of a special edition always belong on a gloss coat, otherwise a matte veil stays under the film. Fit the weapon pylons and the external stores last, so that they do not fall off while you handle the model.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of modern American combat aircraft in 1:72.
  • Modelers looking for a striking variant with an anniversary marking for the display case.
  • Intermediate builders with experience of masking glazing.
  • Anyone interested in equipment intended for close air support.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The A-10C is an upgrade standard: it has reworked avionics, new displays in the cockpit and the ability to work with precision guided munitions. The airframe itself stays the same.

More for an intermediate builder. The assembly itself is straightforward, but the extensive canopy glazing and the uniform gray scheme call for careful masking and a clean surface.

A special edition differs from the standard release above all in its decals. The number of schemes and of parts is given on the packaging.

The contents of the box are given in the list on the box. Check it before you buy any accessory sets.
