FMS A-10 Thunderbolt II V2: Evolution of a Flagship
In 2017, FMS introduced its flagship aircraft — the A-10 Thunderbolt II. Celebrated for its outstanding scale detail and remarkable performance, the Warthog quickly became a firm favourite among both pilots and spectators.
To make an exceptional aircraft even better, FMS has invested significant engineering effort into evolving the original A-10. The result is the A-10 V2, which incorporates thoughtful design and performance enhancements while preserving all the key features that made the first generation a success.
The A-10 V2 retains the user-friendly screw-together airframe, ball-linked control surfaces and high-strength spar system, ensuring straightforward assembly. Scale realism remains a highlight, with features such as panel lines, realistic rivets, removable bombs and rockets, and shock-absorbing CNC-machined landing gear.
Key Upgrades in the A-10 V2
The V2 version introduces ten major improvements in structure, electronics and scale realism:
- Improved ESCs: Dual 70A ESCs have been replaced with upgraded dual Hobbywing 80A ESCs and an external 8A BEC for enhanced reliability and performance.
- Upgraded servos: Elevator and rudder servos have been improved from 9g to 13g metal gear servos. Aileron and flap servos have been upgraded from 17g to 23g metal gear servos, delivering increased torque and responsiveness.
- Precision landing gear: A redesigned nose gear assembly reduces play, improving tracking and directional stability during high-speed taxi and take-off.
- Improved connectors: A 'soft' connector system increases the reliability of the wing quick-release mechanism.
- Increased elevator travel: Provides greater control authority and precision during flight.
- Durable tyres: Made from a more robust compound to increase wheel longevity during rough field operations.
- Enhanced canopy latch: A longer latch pin significantly reduces the risk of accidental canopy release in flight.
- Expanded battery bay: Now accommodates two 6S 3300mAh LiPo batteries, offering longer flight durations.
- New paint scheme: A fresh and even more visually striking finish has been applied to the airframe.
- New scale pilot: Adds further realism to the cockpit.
FMS has spared no effort in refining every aspect of the A-10 V2. With powerful upgrades and unmatched attention to detail, this Warthog delivers both in the air and on the ground. Feel the difference. Turn heads at the field with your very own A-10 V2.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
- If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
- For customers in Inverness and other parts of the Scottish Highlands deliveries can take up to 2 working days even if you select next day delivery as couriers do not currently offer a guaranteed next day service to those areas.
