Default RE: A10 Warthog IMAA legal size from Wowplanes

Most of the MFR's have a "Green Camoflage" paint scheme available - it's close, but inaccurate. Look in a string here for "A-10 warthog for $95"; it's way early in the string, and someone posted the original technical order that we used to determine what color went where. I've lost my copies over the years, so it was a real surprise to see that. There are two shades of green, and one of a dark grey, and then all the tech markings in flat black. The paint we used was a (then) classified two-part epoxy that was formulated to reject radar signals - pretty neat stuff for the time. I remember it stank like hell for about two days. Anyway, the tech order that appears in the string I mentioned is the real one - I'd never forget it, because I had to look at it every time before loading the spray guns.
