A-10 Thunderbolt II

1,963 DumbPlaneMaker  3.1 years ago

This is my first replica and also the first plane to have detailed cockpit that I made myself.

The A-10 Thunderbolt II is one of the most famous military planes in the world. It is recognizable by its rear-mounted engines and the thick fat 30 mm minigun. It is also one of the most succesful attackers, again thanks to its massive gun and unbeatable armor.

My model has 36 x Inferno missiles, 2 x Cleaver missiles, counter-measures, that mighty minigun and detailed cockpit (even though it is not A-10 cockpit) with control stick, levers for throttle, flaps, landing gear, a rotating thing (I don't know what is it's called) for trim and lights to show what activation groups are enabled. This time I totally built the cockpit myself.

Controls: AG1 for Navigation lights, AG2 launches all Infernos, AG3 launches all cleavers. Trim for trim, VTOL for flaps.

Enjoy! Also please upvote if you liked this!
