Some of my all time
favorite aircraft are US Adversary aircraft. The schemes used on these
aircraft are almost always colorful and functional. The latest Two
Bobs T-38 sheet number 48-064 “Aggressive Talons” really emphasizes my
point. On this sheet you get three very cool looking T-38s painted in
multi colored schemes. Two of the three aircraft are from the very
famous 64th FWS based at Nellis AFB, Nevada. The third
aircraft is based out of the 479th TTW based at Holloman
AFB, New Mexico. Here is what you get on this sheet.
-
Aircraft
#1 – T-38A in the Grape scheme from the 64th FWS. The
aircraft is very colorful and carries the grey/grey/blue scheme of
FS 35164, FS35414 and FS35109 on the top with an all grey underside
of FS33622
-
Aircraft #2 – T-38A in the snake scheme from the 64th FWS.
This aircraft is a very earth toned middle eastern camoflauged
aircraft sporting three colors overall. The base color is FS33531
with the other two colors being FS34250 and FS30118 respectively.
-
Aircraft #3 – AT-38B in the LIFT scheme from the 479TFW at Holloman
AFB, New Mexico. This aircraft is painted in a two blue and a grey
scheme of FS33450, FS35164 and FS35109 scheme. I will go on record
as saying that this is the one I am doing on one of my T-38s. It
looks awesome!!
The great thing about
the Two Bobs sheets are, the instructions. You get port and Starboard
views as well as top and bottom. The instructions are full color and
include a few photos of the aircraft on the sheet as well as paint
matches for the FS numbers by several paint manufacturers. The best
part of this sheet is that it gives you the ability to build all three
jets. You don’t have to choose just one or two because the Bob’s
provide you all of the markings for each aircraft. This is great value
for the money if you ask me.
The decals themselves
are free from major decal film and they are in perfect register. There
are very few stencils on the sheet but, that is normal for most T-38s
these days. Simply put if you like Aggressors, this sheet is for you.
I can’t wait to get some time to actually build one of my Talons and
slap the LIFT scheme markings on it.
