Hasegawa 1/72 A-10C Thunderbolt II 190EFS Skullbangers - Compact Military Model

The Hasegawa 1/72 A-10C model represents the Thunderbolt II with a focus on realistic surface detail and correct proportions. The Skullbangers squadron markings are provided via decals, and the parts layout supports a tidy, scale-accurate assembly.

Beginner modellers might find the small components and alignment challenging. If new to the hobby, try a simpler 1/72 kit first, or allow extra time for practice.
Use plastic model cement for strong bonds. Liquid solvent glues work well for tight seams; use sparingly to avoid melt marks.
Trim decals carefully, soak briefly, position with tweezers, then use decal setting solution to conform to panel lines. Seal with a clear coat when dry.
Yes, the compact 1/72 scale makes it easy to place on a small diorama or flight stand for shelf display. Consider simple ground crew figures for realism.
