RMP2 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Im on with an A-10 as can be seen here - Now, the Tamiya decals arent great, can anyone suggest or maybe have spare a decent set of marking for a late 70s Bentwaters beast? Before I get jumped - Ill set up a Wanted post if thats really required at this early stage of enquiring about whats what. Pics, we all love pics! Copyright respected as always, just here for help. And heres what the kit set looks like... Im struggling to find early stickery stuff for WR coded Hawgs, so any help is much appreciated.

Krachenvogel Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 This doesn't address the question about decals, but there was an article in the February 1989 issue of the Colonial magazine FineScale Modeler describing the A-10 MASK scheme. The author (Dana Bell) describes the revised 50 percent MASK-10A (the lighter color) as being "close to FS 34672, similar to World War II RAF Sky," and that the original formula was a "weaker, grayer color which tended to weather almost immediately." Revised 30 percent MASK-10A (the darker color) is described as close to FS 36463, with the original formula being similar but with poor weathering performance like the original 50 percent formula. The markings and false canopy were painted in FS 36118 "Gunship Grey" according to the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
