Special 104th
Fighter Wing New England Patriots markings for: A-10A
78-626
Markings are included for
the special hi-vis New England Patriots A-10A from the 104th Fighter Wing,
Massachusetts Air National Guard. This is the same unit, and Kedi decals
also produced decals for, with the Red Sox A-10A.
You get the standard tail
markings, the Patriots logos for the engines, the 3 championship trophies
that go on the outside right engine sponson, the football helmet, crew
names and "Pride of New England" noseart. You also get the
numerous mission marks and Let's Roll decal. You will need to get
additional stenciling from a kit and/or aftermarket sheet.
There is a black and white,
2-sided instruction sheet included.
These decals are ALPs
printed, and care should be taken with them. The instructions tell you how
to handle them. I personally seal the decals with Future. They quickly
release from the backing sheet once dipped in water, so adjust your
decaling accordingly! The decal scan shows only 2 national insignia, but 2
more are included in a decal purchase.
A note about some of the
markings:
- The jet currently does
not carry the Let's Roll markings. It did prior to getting the
Patriots markings, so do not apply this decal. It is a good spare,
though.
- The football helmet
decal is only on the bottom left wing, not on the top right. Again, a
good spare to have.
- I think the nose refuel
serial should be 80626 instead of 78626 in keeping with the standard
within the unit.
