1/32 US A-10A N/AW
Trumpeter 1/32 US A-10A N/AW is a plastic kit of the two-seat night/adverse weather prototype of the Fairchild A-10 ground-attack aircraft. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The A-10A N/AW (Night/Adverse Weather) was produced by converting one of the pre-production Fairchild Republic A-10A Thunderbolt II aircraft. The cockpit gained a second seat for a weapon systems officer responsible for electronic countermeasures, navigation and target acquisition, and the aircraft first flew in 1979. Neither the US Air Force nor export customers showed interest, and the only two-seat A-10 is now displayed at the museum at Edwards Air Force Base.
The Trumpeter kit in 1/32 scale depicts this one-off aircraft with its extended two-seat cockpit. The manufacturer's photos of the built model show opened engine nacelles with detailed engines, the GAU-8 cannon with its ammunition drum displayed separately and an extensive load of underwing stores.
The large 1/32 scale shows off the cockpit and engine detail, and the finished model will be a centrepiece of any collection. The dark night scheme of the prototype benefits from subtle panel shading and restrained weathering. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
Nationality: USA. Period: Cold War.
