Here's a review of a new release
from Twobobs. This sheet features
the option to build 2 of 10 different A-10A Warthogs from the 47th FS from
Barksdale AFB. LA. There is two complete set of markings and nose
art adorns every single one of these jets. The genesis of the artwork is
the old Al Capp comic strip Li'l Abner. The prototype A-10A+ SATCOM jet is
included in this decal sheet.
There is 2 decal sheets.....one with all the
general stencils and markings and a second smaller sheet with all the noseart.

The instructions are clear and
include 4 views of one of the aircraft and side views of 2 of the aircraft. The decals are beautifully printed on
2 decal sheets. The noseart decals are clearly printed and capture the
characters in the small town of Dogpatch from this comic strip that ran in
American and Canadian newspapers from 1934 to 1977. The full color
instruction sheets include 11 photos of the real aircraft. The jets have
basically the same camo and markings and it is the serial numbers and noseart
that differs between each aircraft and this is all easily sorted out on the
instruction sheets. Paint codes are called out in FS #'s, Testors MM,
Humbrol, Gunze Sangyo and Xtracrylics. The difficult part of this decal
sheet is which 2 jets you want to build......decisions, decisions, decisions!!!
This sheet is available through http://www.twobobs.net/
and select US Hobby Shops. Overseas customers can purchase these from
