The
2 pages of instructions include 4 views of these 2 aircraft as
well as 10 color photos of the real aircraft and 2 photos showing
the excellent resin
Update set from Shull24.com
to build an accurate representation of these jets. Paint
codes in FS#'s and Testors, Humbrol, Gunze Sangyo and Xtracrylics
is also included on the instruction sheet.
Special thanks for help on this sheet goes out to Don Logan and
all the other fine folks at the Fighter Weapons school.
The perfectly printed decals
are contained on 1 decal sheet with some decals coming in 2 layers to ensure
perfect registration and even white decals to go under some decals to maintain
the rich colors of the top decal. You also get 2 complete set of
stencils with 2 full sets of formation lights.
I was pleased to see a sheet
for the A-10 at the Fighter Weapons School as I'm a big fan of the
Warthog.
I would like to thank Twobobs
for this review sample.
This sheet is available through
the Twobobs
website and select US Hobby Shops. Overseas customers can purchase these from
Twobobs site or through Twobobs network of overseas distributors.
