Print Scale 72-465 Decal A-10 Thunderbolt II Part 3 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-465 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1/72 scale aircraft models of the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, focusing on modern-era US Air Force and Air National Guard subjects. This “Part 3” sheet includes four marking options covering A-10 and A-10C airframes identified by serial numbers and unit assignments.

The A-10 is a purpose-built close air support aircraft, and in the modern period it is commonly seen with unit-specific tail markings, serial presentations, and squadron identifiers. These visual elements are especially important in 1/72 scale, where the correct tail codes and fin markings often define the aircraft’s identity.

For modelers, the set is listed as Any / Universal for 1/72 A-10 kits. Because the option list includes both A-10 and A-10C references, it is recommended to match the chosen subject to your kit’s configuration (such as antenna fit and cockpit/instrument layout if your kit distinguishes the C-model). With multi-part tail graphics and fine serial data, this set is best suited to experienced builders. Scale note: 1/72 (also written as 1:72).
