Very nice indeed Carlos - what scheme are you going for?
Thanks Stuart. I’m looking at doing the Squadron Commander’s aircraft, 81st Fighter Bomber Wing, 78th Fighter Bomber Squadron, RAF Bentwaters. Something like this, but with the commander stripes on the fuselage.

I love the mushroom cloud unit badge. No hiding their mission there…

John, yes it will be finished canopy up/open.
Mike, yeah these were primarily strike aircraft, with a secondary role of long range escort fighter. They flew with TAC in Fighter Bomber Squadrons/Wings in the nuclear & conventional strike role, or with SAC Fighter Escort Wings.

Judging by it's typical pre A-10 Republic take-off numbers, it probably needed two states to get turned around, but would take a nuclear Genie to down it!
