1/48 Fairchild A-10A Thunderbolt II The Early Years

Caracal Models - 1/48 Fairchild A-10A Thunderbolt II The Early Years Multiple marking options for prototype and test Fairchild A-10 Warthogs. Our 'The Early Years' series continues with a sheet that transports us back to the origins of the 'Warthog' : the iconic A-10 Thunderbolt, a ground-attack aircraft that has seen service across various battlefields and is loved by infantry for its close-air-support capabilities.
Before its unparalleled combat history began, the A-10 had a lengthy development process and has undergone various modifications and test versions. We proudly offer several marking options, covering its prototype stages, early production variants, and some of the unique test configurations.
Much dedication and extensive research have been poured into this decal set, which not only includes markings but also comprehensive stenciling, allowing enthusiasts to authentically recreate any one of the provided options. Please note that the A-10 prototype had significant differences from production jets, and building an accurate replica will require conversion work.
