A model of the A-10 Thunderbolt II, or more commonly known as the A-10 Warthog. History: The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin turbofan engine, straight wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF). Commonly referred to by the nicknames "Warthog" or "Hog", its official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, a World War II fighter that was effective at attacking ground targets.[citation needed] The A-10 was designed for close air support (CAS) of friendly ground troops, attacking armored vehicles and tanks, and providing quick-action support against enemy ground forces. It entered service in 1976 and is the only production-built aircraft that has served in the USAF that was designed solely for CAS. Its secondary mission is to provide forward air controller – airborne (FAC-A) support, by directing other aircraft in attacks on ground targets. Aircraft used primarily in this role are designated OA-10. Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_Republic_A-10_Thunderbolt_II

Technically the landing gear on the wings partially retract into that larger section in the middle of each wing. Good build! My first A-10 was a flying turd both with looks and performance :P @THEGOLDCROWN
@Jack2019 because that's how it is on the real plane.
@THEGOLDCROWN no problem
@Jack2019 you mean the front gear, in which I have no clue. The landing gear on the wings don't fold, like on the real A-10.
@FennVectorCWA thank you
you have the potential :D
if you need any help, just ask me :D
