Model Info   About the Model About the Model This Hobby Master 1/72 scale A-10 Warthog is amazingly detailed for the reasonable price.  The model is made primarily of diecast metal construction with some plastic parts.  It has extremely realistic paneling details as well as a canopy that opens and landing gear that can be displayed as either extended or retracted.  In order to develop better camouflage for Desert Storm , the USAF tested two experimental paint schemes of the A-10 in 1991. One of the A-10 from 917 th TFG (47 th TFS) at Barksdale AFB was selected. It was known as the “Peanut ” because of its brown special brown scheme (the other was known as the “Flipper” with a similar grey scheme). Both were not adopted finally and this “ 76-0552 ” was repainted in the usual grey but never went to Desert Storm. From 1993 to 1996, b ased at Aviano Air Base in Italy , the 47 th flew 501 sorties as part of the NATO peacekeeping effort in Bosnia-Herzegovina.  The model comes with a display stand.
