Hi there

 

Well to start let me tell you that I need help

 

I'm after a conprensive color scheme for sppoted A-10 with WA tail so my guess is it was used during initial trials at Nellis AFB mid 70 I need right, left, upperside and  under side. Any specs of the colors big help

Also if someone can measure the AIM-9 twin rack spacer also a great appreciated in order to scratch it

 

Best modeling you all

The colours used on these aircraft were illustrated by Dana Bell on Hyperscale a few years ago:

Since Dana also posts here, he may be able to add more information

The idea was you could use the specs of a LAU-127, measure that out and then use the scale drawing found when searching for a LAU-114 to get the correct dimensions sorted.

Not sure how much you can trust Italeri in this matter but they had an option for this color scheme in one of their kits: https://www.super-hobby.com/products/OA-10A-WARTHOG-1061148.html#gallery_start

 

I would trust the Dana Bell articles over Italeri - after all, Mr Bell doesn't have his own paint range to push. 

 

(Unless the undersides of late Luftwaffe fighters really were Light Ghost Gray, as Italeri would have it.  😉 )

That's is a must. Most of the times Italeri is wrong about some stuff. Starting with the instructions and the color scheme (weird names even those from their own brand) the weapons in models kit normally awful and don't forget their boxes tied as terrible with the Revell, Xtrakit, Special Hobby (but not in the latest) as they got smashed with an ant lot of trouble if they gone to the stash......  also bad boxes Ace from Ukraine

PD one thing for sure I plan NOT to glue the jet engine assembly or the vertical stabilitor before paint them
