MSRP (USD) $11.50

TwoBobs has tackled another interesting set of subjects - a pair of Warthogs out of the (what used to be called) Fighter Weapons School. Nellis is home to a number of squadrons, each equipped with the same major aircraft types used within the Air Force. Not every type is present though, and crews bring their own aircraft for school. In this case, the 66th teaches advanced combat tactics to the A-10A community and students are confronted with aggressors out of the 64th and 65th Aggressor Squadrons to learn tactics used by many of our current and potential adversaries.

This set provides markings for two school aircraft from the 66 Weapons Squadron/57 Wing at Nellis AFB. These aircraft are:

  • A-10A, 81-0977, 66 WS/57 W, 'Weapons School'', April 2005
  • A-10A, 80-0229, 66 WS/57 W, '65 WPS', April 2005
A-10A A-10A

This set of decals also provides enough stencils and markings to render two complete models. If you're looking for one or more Weapons School schemes for your Hasegawa, Italeri, or Revell Warthogs, here is a nice option.
