Model Airplane Factory, makers of hand made model aircraft, presents to you our Fairchild A10 Warthog Thunderbolt Attack Wood Model Airplane. The A-10 Thunderbolt II Warthog display plane model is meticulously carved and painted to reflect the true detail of the original A10 Warthog aircraft. After passing through several stages of sanding and priming, our talented artists paint and detail the A-10 wood model with historically correct markings of the Thunderbolt II attack aircraft. Multiple coats of clear lacquer is applied in A-10 Warthog model airplane to protect the exquisite artwork and provide an overall glossy finish. The A10 wood model airplane is supplied with a mahogany base for display.

The A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin-engine jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force to provide close air support (CAS) of ground forces by attacking tanks, armored vehicles, and other ground targets, also providing a limited air interdiction role. It is the first U.S. Air Force aircraft designed exclusively for CAS.

The A-10's official name comes from the P-47 Thunderbolt of World War II, a fighter that was particularly effective at the CAS mission. However, the A-10 is more commonly known by its nickname Warthog or simply Hog. As a secondary mission, it provides airborne forward air control, guiding other aircraft against ground targets. In the USAF inventory, the airframe is designated OA-10 when used primarily in a forward air control role.
