1/32 Big Mouth Big Mouths' F-16C Block 40 Part 1 decal sheet

Product #32030

Product Article by Steve Bamford on May 2  2005

I got the review sample for this new release.  This sheet features two 1/32 F-16C Block 40 Big Mouths with Sharks Mouths.  The recommended Kits for these decals are either the 1/32nd Scale Tamiya F-16C Block 50 or the soon to be released 1/32nd Scale Academy F-16C.

I must confess.....I love the story of the Flying Tigers and their exploits during WW2.....truly amazing stuff that legends are made of, so this sheet has my passion rekindled for the Flying Tigers story.

Markings include two Block 40 jets from USAFE.  One is from Aviano AB and one from Spangdahlem AB.  Enough markings are included to build one complete 1/32 jet....either 90-0776 Squadron CO Aircraft with the 74th FS  or 88-0516 with the 74th FS.

Markings are similar between these 2 jets....jet 0776 has white outline for the text on the tail.  There is a grey Tigers head on the left side of the fuselage behind the canopy as well as Flying tigers artwork  on the left side of the engine intake. 

Recommended Kits:

  • 1/32nd Scale Tamiya F-16C Block 50
  • 1/32nd Scale Academy F-16C (Future Release)

 

Some of the decals come in 2 layers....with a white decal under the artwork in question to ensure no bleed through of the underlying grey of the paint scheme.  

Twobobs wants to thank Wally Van Winkle and Daniel Soulaine for their help on this sheet...way to go guys.

The 2 pages of instructions include 4 view colour drawings of each aircraft's paint scheme and decal placement. 

A great looking sheet and it impressed me when I saw the Flying Tigers sharks mouth markings......I've always had a soft spot for the sharks mouth markings since I was a young boy and my Dad grabbed my attention with his riveting stories of the Flying Tigers in China during WW2. 

This sheet is available through http://www.twobobs.net/ and select US Hobby Shops.  Overseas customers can purchase these from Twobobs site or through Twobobs network of overseas distributors.  Remember, shipping is always FREE to US Customers at Twobobs!!
