Print Scale 48-255 Decal A-10 Thunderbolt. Desert Storm. Part 2 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-255 waterslide decals are designed for 1/48 scale aircraft models of the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, focused on Desert Storm-era subjects (Part 2). The set provides six marking options with tail codes, serials, unit identifiers, and distinctive nose art elements, supported by a substantial selection of technical stencils.

The A-10A is recognized for its rugged airframe and its role in USAF tactical aviation during the early 1990s. This decal sheet presents identification styles used on deployed aircraft, combining large tail letters, national markings, and aircraft-specific art in a layout suitable for museum-style display builds.

For modelers, the sheet includes both high-visibility identifiers and fine stencil data referenced by the placement diagrams. It is intended for 1/48 scale builds (also written as 1:48) and can be used with any compatible 1/48 A-10A plastic model kit. Due to the amount of stenciling and several alignment-sensitive nose art elements, this set is best suited to intermediate and advanced projects.
