Ken Middleton Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Ken and David, you have convinced me beyond any doubt to never want to be on the receiving end of the Warthog's gun! Richard, just hearing the gun fire at fairly close range already made my mind up on that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Julien (UK) Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) A few more A-10's Photographers unknown Julien Edited February 9, 2010 by Julien (UK) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Anyone seen this scheme before? new one on me. Photographer unknown Julien I may be in error on this, but the markings on the tail (the MAJCOM emblem) and the orange on the vert stabs and wing tips indicate to me that it's a bird used at Edwards or another base for testing.

Youngtiger1 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Anyone seen this scheme before? new one on me. Photographer unknown Julien Interesting photo and it does look like something out of Edward AFB - Test and Evaluation squadron. I wonder if there are any more photos of it on the net?

garthk Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Anyone seen this scheme before? new one on me.... Photographer unknown Julien I believe that's either a development or early production A-10 in one of the "Mask" schemes the early Warthogs wore prior to getting the Euro-1/Lizard paintjobs.

Aggressor Supporter Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 First time seeing or hearing about a mask scheme. So a mask scheme is when you go overboard with the weathering? ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdt13 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Anyone seen this scheme before? new one on me..... Photographer unknown Julien Julien- This was pre-production a/c #6, 73-1669, the climactic test airframe. The three-tone "gray" scheme was produced by painting the aircraft black, then putting on different levels of white paint. There were several different schemes, using several different types of paints, on the early hogs until the AF settled on the two ghost grays in a symmetrical scheme. I have a decal sheet that includes these marks, as well as many other pre- and early-production Warthogs. See p. 12 of Dana Bell's A-10 Warthog in Detail and Scale for a good B&W photo of 669 with MERs full of Mk. 82s. Page 27 of A-10 Warthog in Action has a picture of her in the cold hangar at Eglin with snow falling down. Also, I believe Tamiya's 1/48th kit was commonly shown in these markings for their catalogs. I think the various one-off schemes for the A-10 would make an interesting group build or club display, if we could round up enough Hog fans at one time. I've thought about doing this all by myself, usually after a beer too many... -Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites

C-130CrewChief Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I wonder what the point was to paint a plane to look all beat up and nasty. Obviously that scheme didn't stick, but it looks interesting. Imagine a flightline full of that scheme. It would look like a junk yard with every plane being very different in shade.
