The A-10 is still one of the most successful combat aircraft for close support/ground attack missions and can carry up to 8 tonnes of weapons. It received the nickname “Flying Cannon”. In fact the A-10 was designed around one of the most powerful American cannons – the General Electric GAU-8A Avenger – a seven barrel rotary Gatling gun. The whole system, built as a single unit with barrels and attached ammunition tank, weighs 1830 kg and is 6.4 m long. It carries 1174 calibre 30 mm shells each with a weight of 700 g. The pilot sits in a 408 kg titanium “bathtub”. The A-10 is a robust and powerful weapons system for ground attack with very limited electronics. However it was missions in Kosovo and later in the various warlike confrontations in the Gulf region on which the almost legendary reputation of the A-10 was founded. Its performance potential was further enhanced by later modification programmes to its improve its combat capability.

Overview
Skill level: 5
Scale: 1:48
Length: 291 mm
Wingspan: 290 mm
Parts: 81
Description
The Dornier Do 335 was the fastest propeller driven aircraft to be mass-produced during the Second World War. It represented a brilliant concept for a multi-role combat aircraft in which for the first time all the requirements had already been planned during the design stage. The tandem arrangement of the engines and the well-considered aerodynamics gave it a maximum speed of 763 km/h. The first flight took place on 26th October 1943 in Friedrichshafen, when the Do 335 demonstrated its superior speed combined with very easy handling. The Do 335 was one of the few operational aircraft equipped with an ejector seat – a feature only found in German aircraft. For pilot training a two-seat Do 335 was designed which – with suitably equipment – could also be used as a night fighter. At the end of the war numerous Do 335’s in varying conditions of completion were seized by the Allies in Oberpfaffenhofen, only one of which still exists today.
