Tired of all grey F-16s?? If so this is a great sheet for you. You
get a choice of three F-16s to do in the way cool looking European I
paint scheme. Each of the jets represented are very low block
numbers so make sure to use the correct kits when building them. The
three choices are:
-
F-16B
Block 1 s/n 78-0096
-
F-16C Block 25A s/n 83-1129
-
F-16B Pre Production jet s/n 75-0752 This jet has the Powered By
P&W 220 stencil just below the vertical stab.
The decals themselves are typical Two Bobs with minimal carrier film
and are well within register.
My only issue with the set lie in the instructions. I am sure it was
an oversight but in the title of the sheet an A model is called out
and I believe the second option that is labeled a C model is
actually a late A. I may be mistaken and will surely appreciate
anyone’s correction.
One other little issue I had was with the small size of the top and
bottom views. This particular paint scheme has three colors which
literally blend together in two dimensions and I thought the top and
bottom views were a tad too small and could cause a bit of confusion
when painting. That of course is just my opinion and I surely would
not recommend avoiding purchasing this set because of that. You
could easily just blow up the paint diagrams.
I sure love the paint schemes and every time Bob comes out with a
new sheet, I seem to “need” to go out and buy a new kit to put the
markings on. This one is no exception.
Recommended.
