A-10A 'Operation Iraqi Freedom' 1/72 Academy

Description The A-10, a USAF product of the Cold War, was designed and deployed in the late 1970s to fight against the Warsaw Pact Forces in Central Europe. Instead it saw actual action under Operation Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf in 1991. Subsequently, it saw action again in both Bosnia and later in Kosovo. In all these actual combat situations, the A-10 vindicated the objectives of its designers.   Please see the paint guide below for the manufacturer’s suggested colors. ________________________________ Product Details: Scale: 1/72 Skill Level: 2 Length: 8.8” Height: 2.3” Parts: 100 – Painting and assembly required – 8 sprues – Molded in grey plastic – One decal sheet – Clear parts – Various underwing stores included – Detailed cockpit interior – Fully engraved panel lines – Includes decals and paint guides for the following versions: A-10A, Capt.
