Description

Piece together your own A-10 Thunderbolt II Warthog with this 633-piece COBI building block set! Part of COBI’s Armed Forces Collection, this set contains the blocks needed to construct this American subsonic attack aircraft.

The Warthog was produced by the Americans from 1972–1984 and was designed to provide close air support (CAS) to troops on the ground, which involves flying very low and taking out armored vehicles, tanks, and enemy troops. The Warthog is also responsible for attacking grounded aircraft. It has been used in several high-profile conflicts since its conception, such as the Gulf War, Afghanistan, and the Iraq War. The aircraft features a 30mm autocannon and has the ability to carry a payload of up to 1,600 pounds, including bombs, missiles, and rockets. Warthogs are still used by the US Air Force today.

This 1:48 scale model features moving wing flaps, retractable wheels, and a cockpit that opens. A pilot minifigure also comes with the set. Perfect for aviation and military enthusiasts ages 8+, this set brings the A-10 Thunderbolt II Warthog to life in incredible detail! Dimensions are 13.4” long and 3.9” high. ~Alex
