Print Scale 48-210 Decal A-10 Thunderbolt II Desert Storm Part 1 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-210 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1/48 scale models of the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, focusing on aircraft presented for the early 1990s Gulf War period. This Part 1 set provides individual aircraft numbers, tail codes, nose art elements, and national insignia for builders who want a clearly defined A-10A subject rather than generic markings.

The decal sheet combines prominent identifiers (large tail code letters, serial-style numbers, and unit-style emblems) with a selection of smaller markings used across the airframe. Placement diagrams are provided to help align the major markings consistently along panels and access doors.

The A-10A is known for its straightforward external layout and visible markings on the tail and forward fuselage. For modelers, the type is well suited to projects where nose art, tail codes, and serial presentation are key visual features, especially when paired with a two-tone camouflage finish typical of the period shown in this set.

This sheet is intended for use with most compatible 1/48 A-10 Thunderbolt II plastic model kits. Because several options rely on large tail code letters and multi-part markings, the set is best approached with careful measuring and a glossy base coat before application. Scale: 1/48 (also written as 1:48).
