Brrrrrt! COBI A-10 Thunderbolt II™ Warthog® (5856)
The Tank Killer of Desert Storm
Command the skies with the COBI A-10 Thunderbolt II™ Warthog®, a 667-piece tribute to the world’s most resilient close-air-support aircraft. Licensed by Northrop Grumman, this model is finished in the iconic Green-Graphite “European One” camouflage scheme used during the 1990 Persian Gulf War. Known for its titanium “bathtub” cockpit and the massive GAU-8 Avenger nose cannon, the Warthog is a legend of modern warfare designed to survive the unsurvivable.
At a precision 1:48 scale, this COBI set captures the brutal, functional aesthetic of a plane built entirely around its gun, making it a centerpiece for any military aviation collection.
Engineering for Firepower
The 5856 set highlights the specialized design that has kept the A-10 in service for nearly 50 years.
- Heavy Ordnance Loadout: Features a full “Desert Storm” configuration under the wings, including Maverick missiles and external fuel tanks.
- Signature Silhouette: Meticulously designed to replicate the twin high-mounted turbofan engines and the oversized vertical stabilizers that allow the A-10 to stay airborne even after taking heavy damage.
- 100% Pad Printed: In true COBI fashion, there are zero stickers. Every marking—from the nose art to the wing serials—is a durable, high-quality print that won’t fade or peel.
- Interactive Features: Includes a simplified pilot figure that fits into the 1:48 scale cockpit, as well as movable ailerons and rotating engine fans.
- Professional Display: The set includes a block-built display stand and a black nameplate, allowing you to showcase the Warthog in an aggressive banking or flight pose.

Measuring over 14 inches (36.9cm) wide, the COBI A-10 Warthog is a high-impact build for fans of modern armed forces and history alike. It represents the pinnacle of “function over form,” offering a rugged, satisfying assembly experience. Whether you’re a veteran, a history buff, or a collector of precision aircraft, the Warthog is a loud and proud testament to American air power.
