Aero Masks set AM72-A1002 provides a set of stencils for painting the "Peanut" scheme applied to A-10A 76-0552 of the 917th TFW during 1990.

The stencils come on three separate A5 sheets and total 56 individual pieces. The instructions are relatively straightforward and the scheme more-or-less mirrors the European 1 scheme, but with three greys (FS36081, FS36495 and FS36270).

This approach is ideal for schemes with "hard" edges, especially in 1/72. These sheets are therefore highly recommended and this scheme is high on my list to build!
