During the war in Vietnam, the Air Force discovered that its fighter-bombers were not very good at providing close air support (CAS) to troops on the ground. What was needed was an aircraft like the attack types used by the U.S. Navy, and to fill this need, the Air Force first acquired surplus Navy A-1 Skyraiders. Next, the Air Force developed its own version on the Navy’s proven A-7 Corsair II, but the Air Force wanted a dedicated attack and close air sup-port aircraft of its own design. This led to the development of the A-10 Thunderbolt II, which, because of its ungainly looks, became commonly known as the Warthog. Designed around a seven-bar-rel, 30-mm cannon, which fires depleted Uranium rounds capable of piercing a considerable thickness of armor, the Warthog quickly became known as a tank buster. Additionally, eleven pylons under the wings and fuselage can carry a wide variety of ordnance includ-ing standard bombs, cluster bombs, and guided missiles. But the A-10 not only has a lot of firepower, its also designed to be very survivable. The pilot sits in an armored “bathtub” to protect him from ground fire. The Warthog can fly safely with either one of its

twin tails shot away and the two turbofan engines are mounted high above the tail to protect them from anti-aircraft artillery. The tail surfaces also shield the engines from heat seeking mis-siles. During Operations Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom, A-10s were very successful at destroying hundreds of tanks and other armored vehicles belonging to the Republican Guard and other units of the Iraqi Army. Quite often Warthogs returned safely to their base with extensive battle damage that would have downed other aircraft. Your Revell kit of the A-10 comes with two sets of markings in different paint schemes. One is from the 104th Tactical Fighter Squadron on the 175th Tactical Fighter Group which is part of the Maryland Air National Guard. It is named “NORRIS THE PLAYHOG” and is painted in the European I scheme. The other aircraft is named “Lets Roll” and is painted in the two-toned gray scheme. It was assigned to the 345th Fighter Squadron of the 355th Fighter Wing at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona.
