This new decal
sheet from Cutting
Edge Modelworks includes markings for one A-10 Warthog in 1/32 scale. The recommended kit for these decals is the Monogram A-10A.
The first Warthog on this sheet is
an A-10A #79-621 with the 118th FS / 103rd FW with the Connecticut ANG.
This "Black Lightning" paint scheme is to commemorate the 118th RS
P-51 in WW2. This commemorative A-10 is in the standard FS 36375
/ FS 36320 scheme and features black stenciling and numbers with big black
lighting bolt with yellow outlines. There is an FS 36118 false Canopy on
the underside. On the side of the engine cowlings is the text "The
Flying Yankees 80 Years". The
large black stripes on the sides of the fuselage are partially provided as
decals and painting masks are also included for the part of the black stripes
that go around the nose of the aircraft. No mask is provided for the grey
false canopy on the underside so you'll have to mask that yourself. The decals were flawlessly printed and the clear
carrier film is trimmed very close to the crisply printed colored areas, which
is always good to see.
