    The Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a turbo-fan powered single-seater attack aircraft. The prototype flight took place in 1972, and serial production took place in 1975-1984. In total, 715 examples of this aircraft were built. The main task of the A-10 was to combat armor of the Warsaw Pact in central and western Europe. It was also supposed to balance the quantitative advantage of the USSR over NATO troops in armored weapons. Such a task resulted in the fact that the plane is characterized by a great resistance to damage, unheard of in other assault machines, the armor of the cockpit and a very high overall durability of the structure. The A-10 is also manoeuvrable - at 275 km / h, the turning radius is 300 meters, increasing to just 400m with a speed increase of 550 km / h. The main armament is the 30mm GAU-8 / A rapid-fire cannon. In addition, the plane can carry from 6,500 to 7,300 kg of weapons depending on the amount of fuel transferred. The A-10 Thunderbolt II was used in combat in Operation Desert Storm, where it performed excellently and proved its high value. Technical data: Top speed: 706 km / h; maximum range: 3950 kg, climb speed 30.5 m / s.

    Very detailed and dynamic looking diorama my friend! It was nice watching it unfold over the past several months. It looks exactly like the aircraft I worked on for over 15 years. I will let my friends know about your video.who are still maintaining the Warthog. 😊

    I bought the Squadron-Signal reference book years ago. The landing gear has a rat's nest of electrical cables, brake cables, and pneumatic tubing.

    Some UV resin over those modded landing lights really made them look very realistic.

    I was spoiled to have the Selfridge Red Devils' A-10Cs near me. They always do impressive low-speed CAS flying and touch-and go's around Chesterfield and Harrison Township, Michigan. Their P-47 tribute paintjob with invasion stripes was the cat's t@ts.

    Wow, that separated wing-root fillet makes locking the wing in quite easy, doesn't it?

    • @modelfun
      @modelfun  3 місяці тому +2

      I think it does, however the instruction says it should be mounted before the wing. To me it looked as an obstacle, so I did opposite :)

    Funny that Fairchild Republic left the Pave-Penny mounts, even though the Sniper and LANTIRN pods the A-10Cs carry put them in the technological ash-heap.

      Thank you for watching, and your suggestion. I also think few figures will add to the scene and make it more busy. Never worked with the figures, so it may be a big challenge :) But I will try :)

    Really wanted to watch this but couldn't hang with the AI commentary. Would rather have heard you talking about your process and what you were doing. Other than that, it looked like it was going to be a decent view.

      I know the feeling. I can't stand my own voiceover :). But, there is a solution. Voice - OFF, subtitles - ON :)
