Postage Stamp - 1/140 Thunderbolt A-10 Warthog 163 FS Indiana "Blacksnakes"

Developed by Fairchild-Republic in the late 1960s and entering service in 1976, the Thunderbolt A-10 was conceived as a close air-support aircraft, capable of short-term response against enemy armoured vehicles. Its features include a bullet-proof windshield and – most notably – a nose-mounted 30 mm GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling-type cannon, one of the most powerful aircraft cannons ever devised. The A-10 fires depleted uranium armour-piercing shells. This model is a replica of the A-10 stationed with the 163rd Fighter Squadron based at Fort Wayne, Indiana.
