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.
