I knew that orange Caribou scheme rang a bell!  It reminds me very much of the experimental 'Peanut' desert schemes worn on A-10's:

Peanut Scheme 1
Peanut Scheme 2

So that's what that scheme is called!  I have a calendar I picked up in the mall last year that shows an A-10 in this funky yellow/brown/tan scheme, that I'd never seen before, and couldn't find any info about.  Thanks!

Here you go Spellbinder, profiles as promised:


Royal Aircraft Establishment


Royal Aircraft Establishment Rotodyne Z for comparison


RAAF Aicraft Research & Development Unit, based on green Caribou scheme


RAAF Aicraft Research & Development Unit, based on SEA Caribou scheme


RAAF Aicraft Research & Development Unit, based on orange Caribou scheme

Hope they help you pick a paint scheme mate!

Those funky A-10s were stationed at NAS New Orleans.  I was lucky enough to see one fly over shortly before the 926th deployed to Saudi Arabia. B)

I love it. Pure and simple.

Thanks Simon, all great work. I may not use any but I appreciate the effort. I was leaning more to overall white with orange test markings and the ARDU flashes, but that may change. Still have some sanding and filling to do.

Cheers

If you want any specific schemes mate, let me know & I'll knock something up for you.  I might be able to work something out from a description, but post a picture if you've got one.

Simon.

EDIT, like this ARDU Mirage?

[Mossie]

Is this more what you had in mind?



Don't worry if you don't use any of them mate, I'm having fun knocking these profiles togethers, makes a change!

Simon.
