Renowned for its battlefield dominance and unmatched ground-attack capabilities, the A-10 Thunderbolt II, affectionately known as the ‘Warthog,’ has served for decades as the premier Close Air Support (CAS) aircraft. Honoring this legendary warbird, Freewing proudly presents the 80mm A-10 Thunderbolt II Version 2the most advanced and definitive foam electric PNP A-10 ever created!

Building upon the success of its predecessor, this 1700mm wingspan model takes realism, durability, and performance to the next level. Quick-release main wings make assembly and transport effortless, while an upgraded plastic-cladded battery compartment improves long-term durability and better fitment for larger batteries. Glueless fuselage assembly and simplified wiring further simplifies construction, making this one of the easiest large EDF jets assemble and set up.

Scale realism is enhanced with scale, CNC-machined aluminum shock-absorbing struts and a fully detailed landing gear system with operational main and nose gear doors, ensuring smooth takeoffs and landings even on rougher fields. An upgraded LED lighting package, including a switchable, flashing LED armament effect, formation lights, and nose gear landing/taxi lights, increases visibility and adds an immersive touch to every flight.

Whether executing precision low passes, hard turns, or smooth landings, this model delivers an authentic and exhilarating EDF jet experience.
