1:72 N/AW A-10A Thunderbolt II is a plastic kit of the two-seat night and all-weather conversion of the A-10 attack aircraft in 1:72 scale from Hobby Boss.
Responsibility details are not available.
This injection-molded plastic kit captures the unusual two-seat conversion of the A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft, marked with the abbreviation N/AW for use at night and in difficult weather. It brings a variant to a collection that you will not meet on the ordinary A-10s. The scale is 1:72 and the maker is Hobby Boss.
The A-10 is a single-seat attack aircraft built around a seven-barrel large-caliber cannon, with a pair of jet engines mounted high on the sides of the rear fuselage and an armored tub around the pilot. The abbreviation N/AW stands for night and adverse weather: it was a test conversion with a second cockpit for a weapon systems operator, together with enlarged vertical tail surfaces because of the changed stability. The machine was to widen the scope of operations beyond daylight conditions, but it never reached series production and remained at the testing stage at the turn of the nineteen seventies and eighties. That is exactly what makes it a rewarding subject for a collection of prototypes and dead-end development branches.
The two-seat cockpit is the main peculiarity of the model, so finish and paint it before you close the fuselage up. Fit the engine nacelles precisely, so that the model does not sit twisted. Gray attack camouflage stands out over a uniform primer; spray with an airbrush and keep the transitions soft. Weathering pays off in moderation on this type: bring out the panel lines and suggest the gun gas staining behind the barrel under the nose. Fit the landing gear and any external stores only after the fuselage has been painted.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
A very simple kit with good details. I have no complaints, although the kit actually represents the two-seat experimental prototype YA-10B, which may be what makes it unique.
