I bought this kit as a quick fill-in but it has proven to be a cracker, and I learned a lot about the aircraft along the way.
Evolved from a training aircraft of the time, just about every pilot had flown one at some time so conversion training was straightforward, and maintenance requirements were low. It was beefed up, had much more powerful engines fitted along with the distinctive wing tip fuel tanks to feed them, and of course a GAU-2 mini gun.
It proved very effective in its ground support role and eventually passed its DNA onto the awesome A10
A wide array of loads could be carried on the multiple hard points, and here I've gone for four additional fuel tanks, the multi rocket launchers, and the cluster bomb dispenser "tubes"
