Academy 1/48 A-10C 75th FS Flying Tigers Plastic Kit

The Academy 12348 A-10C presents the Flying Tigers 75th FS scheme in 1/48 scale plastic, emphasising panel detail and cockpit fidelity. The kit is intended for modellers seeking a faithful static replica of the Thunderbolt II.

Service and Design Highlights

The A-10C Thunderbolt II is noted for durability and the GAU-8 Avenger, which defined its close support role. This model captures key airframe characteristics and the distinctive squadron markings.

Recommendation for Modellers

Best suited to intermediate and advanced builders, the Academy 1/48 A-10C includes precise components that benefit from accurate assembly and careful painting. The finished model works well in collections and themed displays.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48

Some seam lines may need light filling and sanding for a smooth finish, especially at fuselage joins and control surfaces.
The cockpit contains moulded instruments and panels that take fine painting well; adding washes or dry brushing will bring out the detail.
