Academy 1/48 Scale A-10C 75th FS Flying Tigers Model

The Academy 12348 A-10C represents the 75th Fighter Squadron Flying Tigers in a carefully moulded 1/48 plastic kit. The package concentrates on authentic surface features and cockpit detail to make a convincing static model.

Aircraft Background

Known as the Thunderbolt II, the A-10C is built for resilience and close support, anchored by its GAU-8 Avenger cannon. This kit echoes those design elements and the distinctive Flying Tigers paint scheme.

Assembly Tips

Targeted at modellers with intermediate skills and above, the Academy 1/48 A-10C contains fine components that reward precise assembly and neat finishing. Once complete, it stands well in display groups or as a solo centrepiece.
