The beasty A-10 Thunderbolt

Scale is 5:1 ish~
Well i hope you like it!


Facts:
The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American twin-engine, straight wing jet aircraft developed byFairchild-Republic in the early 1970s. It entered service in 1976, and is the only United States Air Force production aircraft designed solely for close air support, including attacking tanks, armored vehicles, and other ground targets.
The A-10 was designed around the 30 mm GAU-8 Avenger rotary cannon that is its primary armament. The A-10'sairframe was designed for durability, with measures such as 1,200 pounds (540 kg) of titanium armor to protect the cockpit and aircraft systems, enabling it to absorb a significant amount of damage and continue flying. Its short takeoff and landing capability permits operation from airstrips close to the front lines, while its simple design enables maintenance at forward bases with limited facilities.[4] The A-10A single-seat variant was the only version built, though one A-10A was converted to an A-10B twin-seat version. In 2005, a program was begun to upgrade remaining A-10A aircraft to the A-10C configuration.

Why is this 5:1? It looks almost exactly to scale to me! (maybe a teensy bit bigger)

1 block in minecraft is 1 meter in real life. this is like 80+ meters long, 80+ wide and 20+ high...  if you think that this looks exactly the actual scale to you, imagine an A-10 being 5 times bigger than the actual size in real life.
*cough* the GAU-8 would be the planet destroyer XD

If you would like to sure. There are 3 versions though. A- Wings fold up, and has a launch hook thingy for aircraft carriers. B- STOVL engine (swivels to point down and a trapdoor opens on the top of the front to reveal a 2nd vtol engine) and C- Just like a regular jet. Traditional takeoff and landing.
