The presented Master AM-72-063 set is dedicated to modelers building plastic models of the Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft in the popular 1:72 scale. This advanced upgrade set includes extremely precisely crafted metal add-ons: a turned brass muzzle tip for the legendary GAU-8/A Avenger aircraft gun as well as an upgraded Pitot tube, along with brass gun barrels and photo-etched barrel clamps, allowing for a level of detailed realism unmatched by the moveable armament of this iconic aircraft.

The Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American close air support aircraft from the Cold War and modern times, utilized since the 1970s in USAF combat operations around the world, including in the Persian Gulf, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Its main advantages are its rugged construction, powerful armor, and deadly firepower primarily owed to the 7-barrel GAU-8/A Avenger 30 mm cannon.
