Fairchild A-10a 'Warthog' Usaf 'Jaws' (1:72) by Corgi Aviation
Item Number: AA38005
In 1977, the military mirrored the popular film JAWS as its acronym and name for its tactical tests of the A-10 and Army attack helicopters became the Joint Attack Weapons System (JAWS). Air Force Aggressor pilots reported that the A-10's light celestial camouflage scheme made the Warthog easily visible from above, so the 57th Tactical Training Wing developed a new terrestrial camouflage of tan, green, or grey, sprayed and brushed with other earth tones. Two of the camouflages were evaluated at JAWS II in November 1977, and by September 1978 the Lizard scheme became a minor, though well-remembered, camouflage oddity. Estimated release date: February 2008
