NOTES:

 

Next from Wolfpak Decals is this nice sheet that again has options for six aircraft. The theme for this one is either Moody AFB or something blue in the unit name.

First up is an F-16C from the 69 TFS/347 TFW back in May 1991, before the 'Tactical' was removed from unit names (a move which undoubtedly cost millions of dollars in changing paperwork alone).

Also part of the Moody AFB theme is an A-10A from the 70 FS/347 FW from April of 1997. This is the boss bird and has a blue fin cap.

Next are a couple of Hill AFB based aircraft with the 4th FS. One is an F-16CG when based at Bagram AFB in March 2011, while the other is a two seat F-16DG from March 2006.

A PBM-5 Mariner from VP-50 in July 1955 is the fifth option. It is painted overall sea blue.

The final option is a retro scheme applied to a P-3C of VP-6 (Blue Sharks), based at Kaneohe Bay in August 2011.

The instruction sheet for this set is the best in the business when it comes to background information and what may be needed to accurately depict the aircraft being modeled. In addition to the actual placement profiles, there are several additional pages of information that include a history of the type,  kits and update bits for these schemes,  as well as load-out information, and any changes needed to properly model the aircraft in question, assuring you of the most accurate model you can have. A listing of kits and conversion sets is also included. A visit to their web site will get you much larger images of the markings options. Note that the artifacts on the image are from my scanner.

As with the previous sheets, these are superbly printed by Fantasy Printshop and without any registration problems. If you have not yet treated yourself to some of the best researched decals around, you should.

Thanks to WolfPak Decals for the review sample.
