Over the last couple of weeks several guys contacted my asking what A-10 stuff I have left. This had me a bit perplexed as the remaining 1/32, 1/48, and 1/72 sets are listed on the appropriate decal set pages, but I have to acknowledge my old website could be a bit hard to navigate.
It’s more likely they were asking about sets that are already gone, or perhaps any remaining resin stuff for the ‘Hog, although none of them were that specific. Unfortunately I don’t have any resin stuff left for the A-10 or anything else, so I can’t help there.
However, my remaining Warthog decal sets are all listed below.
1/32
A-10A Warthogs #2. LAST FOUR SETS! MULTIPLE SHEET SET. DOWN TO THE LAST SEVEN SETS. First is “The Huntress” from the 23 TFW at King Fahd Air Base Desert Storm. Next is the 57 TTW, Nellis AFB, in the experimental Joint Attack Weapons System II camouflage testing in 1977-78 (typically but unofficially called the “JAWS” scheme). The final jet was from the 45 FS, Grissom AFB, IN, in the special commemorative D-Day anniversary stripes on engine cowls. VERY eye-catching scheme!

A-10A #1. FINAL 3 SETS! “Desert Storm/Fist/Carmelita” of the 706 TFS/AFRES NAS New Orleans — this jet had a replacement fin with a huge “bandaid” painted on it!; Warthog “sharkmouth” named “Peanut,” (named but not painted on the jet) from the 917 TFW, in a very cool experimental Desert Storm tan/brown camo, Barksdale AFB; “Nomad” from the 104 FG/131 FS Barnes Airfield, MA, in Operation Deliberate Force (Bosnia) at Aviano; and “Have A Day” from the 104 FG/131 FS, also at Aviano during Operation Deliberate Force.

A-10A “Black Lightning” Special Scheme, 118th FS /103rd FW Connecticut ANG. This striking scheme commemorated the 118th RS P-51 in WW II. Includes BlackMagic(tm) precut painting masks for portions of the black lightning bolt! We created this decal with the assistance of the jet’s crew chief at the time, who wanted these decals for her son’s Warthog model.
