Here's a new
sheet from Twobobs
that is sure to be popular
with the modern jet modellers lovers. This is the F/A-18C Snakes and Dragons
decal
sheet that features two very colorful CAG jets from the VFA-86 Sidewinders and the VFA-192 Golden Dragons. There are two complete sets of markings so you can
build both aircraft.
The VFA-86 tail markings are printed in 4-color process to capture all the tonal subtleties of the actual tail markings.
Twobobs worked directly with the actual artist of this scheme to capture these markings in exact form!
These two jets are loaded with colourful artwork and there's even a big American
flag for the airbrake on the Golden Dragons jet.
The aircraft include
the following:
-
F/A-18C, BuNo
165200 with VFA-86 Sidewinders from MCAS Beaufort, NC in January 2011
-
F/A-18C, BuNo
164029 with VFA-192 Golden Dragons from NAS Atsugi, Japan in October 2009

I have been eagerly awaiting the
release of this decal sheet, but to actually see the artwork in person is a sight
for sore eyes. Twobobs did a stunning job capturing the very complicated
tonal variances on the snake artwork....it is beautifully done. And the
Golden Dragons is one of my favourite squadrons due to their great artwork, so
this sheet is a big hit with me and I'm sure it will be a fast selling item.
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.
