This sheet from WolfPak Decals is (I believe) the first sheet from any manufacturer featuring the CV-22!  It also covers the F-105G, A-6B, OV-10A, A-6E and UH-60L.

The following airframes are featured:-

  • F-105G 63-8320 "Cooter" of the 333rd TFS, 344th TFW based at RTAFB Takhli during 1969.  Painted in the standard SEA scheme of FS34079, FS34102, FS30219 and FS36622
  • A-6B 152617 of VA3-35 aboard USS America, painted Light Gull Grey (FS36440) and Insignia White
  • OV-10A 67-0679 of the 20th TASS, 507th TACW from Shaw AFB, painted in the Euro 1 scheme comprising FS34092, FS36081 and FS34102
  • CV-22B 02-0024 from the 71st SOS, 58th SOW based at Kirtland AFB, New Mexico during 2007, painted in FS36118 (upper) and FS36293 (lower)

  • CV-22B 04-0028 from the 8th SOS, 168th SOW based at Hurlburt Field, Florida, during 2007, in the above scheme
  • UH-60L 26882 from the 2nd Battalion, 10th Aviation Regiment, 10th Mountain Division based at Fort Drum, NY during 2008.  The aircraft is in the overall CARC green scheme of FS34031
  • A-6E 161681 from VA-55 aboard the USS Coral Sea during 1986, painted in the tactical scheme of FS36320 and FS36375
As usual, for each airframe WolfPak include a side view with details of where individual markings are placed, copies of the relevant page of TO 1-1-4, and additional photographs where relevant. These are black and white photocopies, with the side views in colour.

Additionally, for each airframe, WolfPak provide a history of the aircraft with additional details of markings and specific colours (with FS595a references).  Details of weapons loadouts are also provided.

All in all, very useful!
