TheyJammedKenny! Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Where in Maryland are you? Up in the Hagerstown area, with the former Fairchild plant? You could probably just use standard size national insignia. What codes are on the vertical stabilizers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Oh, so it's from Davis-Monthan AFB, one of the 354th's machines. Was it earlier this past year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New guy Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 Not sure, according to the articles it was a recent paint job. It’s the A10 demo team. I think it’s the same bird they had painted in the World War II commemorative schemes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list of pilots killed and taken POW is a wonderful touch. Also the first (3/4) imaged makes me think it's what an A-10 would've looked like in Vietnam.

spruecutter96 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Now, that's a cool-looking colour scheme! There are way too many grey 'Hogs floating around out there. This is the perfect antidote to all that snooze-worthy, grey nonsense. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an old discussion about that here: Personally, I like both Hasegawa and Italeri, but after building them both I still think Hasegawa´s Hog does the part better than Italeri's, IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got all excited about this but looking at the link it is 48th scale, I do so hope there will be a 1/72 version @CaracalModels Pretty please. Looked on the website but couldn't see anything on the 1/72 page. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Brown Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I haven't seen Caracal's instructions, yet, but note that the A-10 has FS 34092 instead of FS 34079 for the dark green. The squadron with the F-16C in SEA camo got it right and used 34079. That said, the A-10 looks right in SEA camouflage! I think it was originally planned to be painted in those colors when it entered service. Ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve. @CaracalModelshas said just now on hs page on ARC that there will be no seperate sheet in 1/72 for these 2 aircraft, but they will be included in a future A-10 and F-16 1/72 sheet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 As much as Im an A-10 fan I dont really like this one. A lot of the US Special schemes of late have not been terribly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New guy Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 I think there are a couple that are really nicely pulled off. But I do agree that many of them are just.. eh. I understand what they are trying to do but I think there are times when they missed an opportunity to update the designs to fit the modern aircraft and still keep the vintage spirit. I would love to see if somebody could pull off the paint scheme for the P-51 “big beautiful doll” into an F-16 or F-15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully agree with your second statement. the Liberty wing specials e.g..... maybe the gunship grey C model was somehow interesting... But those two SEA birds look good to me!

You will be able to moan about the A-10, I have the sheet on backorder. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
