Armour FM best A-10 1:48

I'm thinking of getting the A-10 from FM.
Is the Let's Roll the best one to get ?
I don't like all the decals FM uses on some of there planes.
I was really happy with their Showtime 100 F-4 Phantom so i thought i try the A-10.

IMHO-

I have them all and I'd say either the 74th Tactical Fighter Squadron (Desert Storm) or the 81st Fighter Squadron (Balkans). I'm judging by aesthetics alone here.

JP, I think it's just the older Armour stuff (pre-FM) that has decals...Newer stuff all tampo.

I have the Green Flying Tigers one, and love it.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

I am a PA born and raised guy as well, so I have been thinking about getting the Let's Roll one as well.

I like the flying tigers A-10 and the D-day commemorative one, too (there I go with those invasion stripes again).

I wish FM still included the decals as they don't do tampo for the real small placards they just omit them... least that's the way it is on the new B-26 I just got, not sure about the A-10s as they're in storage right now....
