Historically, the A-10 Thunderbolt II, widely known by the nickname “Warthog,” is an American ground-attack aircraft designed and produced by Fairchild-Republic. Since the 1970s, it has mainly been used by the United States Air Force, especially during conflicts such as the Gulf War, Operation Allied Force over Kosovo, and missions in Afghanistan and Iraq. The distinctive “hump” behind the cockpit, which is the ECU intake, is a feature that detail enthusiasts especially appreciate as a hallmark of a well-represented model.

We recommend the Quickboost QB49150 ECU Intake to all modelers who value authenticity and want to improve the shortcomings of the base kit. This resin upgrade is characterized by easy installation, perfect fit, and excellent details – even the least experienced modelers will have no trouble improving the look of their model.
