REVELL KIT 1181, A-10 WATHOG, 1181 Assembly Manual

A-10 WARTHOG

KIT 1181 85118110200

The Thunderbolt II carries the official name of
one of the most famous fighters in history, but
its unofficial name of “Warthog” is a more apt
description. The A-10's "Thunder" comes from
it's powerfull GAU-8/A 30 mm nose cannon.
Although the shape of the A-10 borders on the

grotesque, it’s actually the result of some careful

engineering. The pilot sits in the extreme nose
of the airplane for visibility. He is protected from
ground fire by an armored titanium “bucket”.
The twin 9,055 lb. thrust General Electric TF­34 turbofan engines are separated from the
fuselage to reduce the possibility of damage
to both engines from one hit. Even when the
landing gear is retracted, a portion of the main
tires extend out of the airplane to make a “belly
landing” less dangerous. The A-10 is designed
to remain flyable even if large areas have been
damaged or blown off.
Created specifically to support troops in
a ground attack role, the A-10 is incredibly

maneuverable. It is slow for a modern jet aircraft,

with a top speed of only 423 mph, but it can
carry up to eight tons of ordinance to deliver the
knockout punch to enemy armored vehicles.

NOTE: When applying stickers, avoid touching the “sticky” side to prevent finger prints on stickers. Bend sticker sheet slightly to lift edge of sticker & use a finger nail
to lift sticker from sheet. Line up sticker on body and press an edge into place, slowly working sticker with a finger nail until sticker is fully on model.

REMARQUE : Pendant l’application des autocollants, éviter de toucher à la face collante pour ne pas laisser d’empreintes. Plier légèrement la feuille d’autocollants
pour relever le bord d’un autocollant, et le détacher de la feuille avec le bout d’un ongle. Aligner l’autocollant sur la carrosserie, appuyer pour coller un de ses bords, et
continuer de l’appliquer lentement du bout de l’ongle jusqu’à ce qu’il soit complètement collé sur le modèle réduit.

Bonus stickers are included

on the sticker sheet. You
may place them wherever
you like on your model or

wherever you want!

NOTE: AFTER SLIDING PART # 17 INTO

PART #16, SLIDE

BACK TO LOCK INTO PLACE.
