--------------------

Here's a review of a new release from Twobobs.  This sheet features2 different  F-16C Wolfpack Bandits with 8th Fighter Wing based at Kunsan AB in Korea in October 2007.  If you are a Kusan Viper pilot, you are in for plenty of flying time which is a good thing for most pilots.  The 8th FW does not fly aggressor missions, but due to the pending "jet swap" between the 8th FW and the 18th FS, these jets were painted in the new 18th FS aggressor scheme prior to flying to Eielson AFB, AK.    

Between the great 3 tone camo scheme and the mission in Korea, these jets capture my the imagination  in a big way.  These camo schemes rock and you have a choice between the single seater and the 2 seater.  Twobobs has included 2 full set of stencils so you also have the option to build both jets.

The instructions are clear and include 4 views of each aircraft and 13 color walkaround photos of the real aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet.  There Paint codes are called out in FS #'s, Testors MM, Humbrol, Gunze Sangyo and Xtracrylics.  It's difficult to get accurate paint matches from the mainline model paint suppliers, but if you check out Don Color at http://www.jpsmodell.de/main_e.htm, you will find some excellent acrylic paints for these aggressor aircraft.  Another cool feature of this decal sheet is the addition of decals for the missiles.

A big thanks goes out to Twobobs for making this sheet happen!!!

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!!
