Markings for three different machines of the US Air Force on a single sheet in 1:48 – the A-10A attack aircraft and two offshoots of the swing-wing F-111 family.
Responsibility details are not available.
One sheet, three aircraft that have almost nothing in common apart from the US Air Force. The Fairchild Republic A-10A Thunderbolt II is slow, armored and literally built around a seven-barrel 30 mm cannon. Its engines sit high above the rear fuselage and it carries a twin vertical tail. Beside it stand two very different offshoots of the swing-wing F-111 family.
The F-111F was the ultimate strike version with more powerful engines and the Pave Tack targeting pod. It was these machines that flew the raid on Libyan targets in 1986 and, five years later, the hard work over Iraq. The EF-111A Raven, by contrast, came about by converting early airframes into a jamming special: it received a large antenna fairing in the bomb bay area and a conspicuous pod on top of the fin, which earned it the nickname Spark Vark. It carried no bombs into action but jamming that was meant to blind the screens of the enemy radars.
The swing wings and the deep panel grooves of both F-111 variants call for care. Settle large areas in one go and draw the excess water off with a paper tissue so that the film does not kink over an edge. With the attack aircraft the situation is far easier, because most of its markings lie on the flat surfaces of the fuselage and the fins.
