After ODS they tried some other weapons loads... Like GBU-12s on the BRUs and tanks on the inner pylons to increase loiter time. The Xtradecal sheet would be a good one for that as its got 72-1448 as the Wing Commanders mount for the 48FW with the triple colour tail.

BastianD Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 And here they are, received today 🤩 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arg Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 These are great decals - you'll really like using them. I ended up making '892' from this sheet. Take your time with the interior intake decals - they can be tricky to position. I applied them one at a time in each intake and let them completely dry before putting the next one on.

ElectroSoldier Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Why 892? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arg Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Quote 13 hours ago, ElectroSoldier said: Why 892? I liked its combination of markings: Properly proportioned star-and-bar (how did the maintenance crews mess that up on some of the other jets listed on the sheet?), Desert Storm mission markings, colorful (multi-color ribbon on the tail; nosegear door markings), easier to paint a single color on the top of the tail rather than trying to wrap a (multi-color) decal around it, and the wheel hubs (nose wheel hubs are red, main wheel hubs have an eagle decal).

ElectroSoldier Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I thought the star and bar was from a stencil. Ive seen that eagle hub before... It was an open day/airshow thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They must have had a relative of Mr. McGoo cut the stencil out! (How's that for a vintage reference!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BastianD Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 When starting with decals on end of fuselage, I discovered 2 decals where I’m not quite sure of, anyone to help out? it’s the circled part, where within the circle there seems to bea text or a symbol, cannot find it however on the decal sheet.

A-10 LOADER Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Those are the red decals, towards the bottom of the sheet, above the "slime lights". They read " LIFT HANDLE TO BLEED, PRESS BEFORE TURNING CAP SEE T.O. 1F-111A-2-1 FOR MANDATORY FILLING SEQUENCE". The "symbol" inside the circle is a filler door which is scribed on the HobbyBoss model, not the Academy. Hope this helps.
