amato1969 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Mark, looks great! I grew up very close to Willow Grove, PA where those A-10s were based. Are your decals for the Lizard scheme, or the new gray? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark S. Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 Amato: Thanks, the A-10 markings are for the grey scheme. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amato1969 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Thanks, Mark. I really like the variety of A/C on the sheets. Are you at liberty to discuss who will be printing the decals? Frank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddler Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Hi, Sorry if I overlooked any other topic but are there any updates regarding these decals? I'm interested in doing an MC-130E in the Black-Greenish camouflage they had in the early days and was wondering if that's possible with the first sheet... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cobrahistorian Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 (edited) Mark, (how's this for a role reversal) 48th? Please? I've been dying for PA decals for a while now. I'll even buy a Hobby Boss A-10 to put em on! Jon Edited November 29, 2007 by Cobrahistorian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jefropas Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 (edited) Jon, There were some actually made in 48th, I believe they were one of the 2 units in Hobbycrafts boxing of the A-10 a few years back labelled Home Defense. The decals were really good on the kit, the plastic was useless. I think they were the older markings and not the current ones, along with Connecticut.
