A-10 Warthog History:

The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin turbofan engine, straight wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF). It is commonly referred to by the nicknames “Warthog” or “Hog”, although the A-10’s official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, a World War II fighter-bomber effective at attacking ground targets.The A-10 was designed for close air support (CAS) of friendly ground troops, attacking armored vehicles and tanks, and providing quick-action support against enemy ground forces. It entered service in 1976 and is the only production-built aircraft that has served in the USAF that was designed solely for CAS. Its secondary mission is to provide forward air controller-airborne support, by directing other aircraft in attacks on ground targets. Aircraft used primarily in this role are designated OA-10.

The A-10 was intended to improve on the performance and firepower of the A-1 Skyraider. The A-10 was designed around the 30 mm GAU-8 Avenger rotary cannon. Its airframe was designed for durability, with measures such as 1,200 pounds (540 kg) of titanium armor to protect the cockpit and aircraft systems, enabling it to absorb a significant amount of damage and continue flying. Its short takeoff and landing capability permits operation from airstrips close to the front lines, and its simple design enables maintenance with minimal facilities. The A-10 served in the Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm), the American–led intervention against Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, where the aircraft distinguished itself. The A-10 also participated in other conflicts such as in Grenada, the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq, and against the Islamic State in the Middle East.

The A-10A single-seat variant was the only version produced, though one pre-production airframe was modified into the YA-10B twin-seat prototype to test an all-weather night capable version. In 2005, a program was started to upgrade remaining A-10A aircraft to the A-10C configuration, with modern avionics for use with precision weaponry. The U.S. Air Force had stated the F-35would replace the A-10 as it entered service, but this remains highly contentious within the USAF and in political circles. With a variety of upgrades and wing replacements, the A-10’s service life can be extended to 2040; the service has no planned retirement date as of June 2017.

    Another great model from Cobi (my 8th). Went together as expected and looks great.

  2. George Engles (verified owner)

    Great model. My grandson couldn’t wait for it to be released and it arrived the day before his birthday.

  3. Dan Phelan (verified owner)

    This was my first Cobi set. I enjoyed putting it together. Be sure to pay attention while building, as several parts look similar.

  4. qplus3 (verified owner)

    My son loves this awesome model. Experienced a hiccup with a missing part, but the customer service provided is outstanding. Definitely a plus ordering from War Bricks.

  8. Eric Hanson (verified owner)

    Definitely buying more….soon!

  9. Kelston Swift (verified owner)

    Have owning 19 COBI airplane sets, this A-10 Thunderbolt II is definitely is worth the purchase.
    Absolutely fun build, i am very glad the set didn’t have stickers, it was all manufactured on the parts themselves. I also love the attention to detail of the A-10 and its many features. Warbricks had my order out very quickly and even received it earlier than expected with a hand written note thanking me for the purchase. Highly recommend this set as well as ordering through Warbricks.

    BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTT!!!!! Who could ever hate this ugly duckling!? The A10 is an amazing plane and Cobi again knocks it out of the park with the detail and printing. Plus the fast shipping and awesome customer service from Warbricks what’s not to love?

  11. Paul Backlund (verified owner)

    This A10 Cobi is my first, certainly not my last, build. The staff at Warbricks are fantastic! In a business environment that has forgotten customer service, they are a welcome addition! The build was great fun and the finished product looks great! I can’t say enough good thinga about Warbricks and the Cobi experience.

  12. Nam Mai (verified owner)

    One of my favorite set. The set is perfect for display and also sturdy

  13. Nam Mai (verified owner)

    It’s very fun to build A10, there are so many different pieces that are similar to each others so I recommend everyone to put the same pieces in a pile so easily build one. It is perfect for display and it’s quite sturdy.

  14. Taylor (verified owner)

    My First COBI Build and It’s Great! Very impressed with the detail and quality of the build. Many more COBI sets from Warbricks on my wishlist!

  15. Chris Hager

    This A-10 build improves on the original in almost every way! It has a more enjoyable build and it’s certainly more eye-catching on display. If the main landing gear was more sturdy and retracted more realistically (I was able to mod it without any extra pieces), and if Cobi found a way to close up the underside of the nose, it’s easily a 5 star set. You won’t be disappointed!

  16. Noah Sullivan (verified owner)

    Excellent shipping and super friendly customer service! Will definitely be buying from Warbricks again soon!

  17. Rebecca Stover (verified owner)

    I ordered this from Warbricks last Christmas and I’m back for more! Our son loved everything about the Warthog! He’s an avid tinker kid and this gift was perfect for him! We will be ordering again!!! Great quality and worth the $!

  18. Carly (verified owner)

    This is our second year ordering Christmas gifts for our kids from war bricks and are absolutely thrilled with the quality, customer service, and shipping speed. Can’t recommend ordering from this company enough! Thank you for providing high quality Cobi bricks for our kids to enjoy year after year!
