Hobby Master HA1311 1:72 A-10A Thunderbolt II 75th FS OIF 2003 'Killer Chick'


Pre-owned - Excellent (8/10)

Description

This A-10A represents the aircraft’s frontline Operation Iraqi Freedom period, when Warthogs were flown on long “on-call” sorties to support fast-moving ground advances across Iraq. Marked for the 75th Fighter Squadron and dated 7 April 2003, it captures a specific early-OIF snapshot, complete with the distinctive “Killer Chick” nose art noted on the box label. Ideal for a modern combat aviation display shelf, desk setup, or an OIF-themed diorama, and a great choice for collectors who prefer operational markings with unit character.
