Not
often do you see an A-10 painted up in any kind of a show scheme but the
folks at the 118th FS of the Connecticut ANG have bucked the trend and
decided to do up one of their jets! This scheme was designed by
MSgt Jon Clark who is a training manager there at the 118th FS.
He provided the Two Bobs with all the references on this scheme along with the help of SrA Michael Stephens of the 118th FS. Mike's dad, Mike Sr. along with ARC regular, Ken Middleton, got the Two Bobs all "hooked up" and this is end result! This scheme is to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the 118th FS. Back in the day they had a P-51D painted up in this scheme and they thought it was high time to paint up one of their Hawgs in tribute. Markings are included for the entire jet to include all stencil data (including pylons). Some of the tighter registration markings are broken apart to ensure excellent registration when you put these decals on your model. This sheet will be available in 1/32nd scale as well! Jon Clark has already started banging away at his Trumpeter A-10 in anticipation of the "sausage finger" release of this sheet! |

The decals themselves are contained on one decal sheet. They include all you need to build this very unique looking 80th Anniversary 118th Fighter Squadron A-10. The printing of the decals is the usual flawless and clear printing we expect from Twobobs and their Mircoscale printed decals. The 2 page colour instruction sheet includes paint colours for 3 different paint manufacturers as well as a nice selection of walkaround photos of this jet. This is a highly recommended decal sheet for the A-10 builders looking for a special A-10 paint scheme with a connection to the history of this Squadron. |
