Front of Package

On the heels of the Aggressor unit, 65th FG, being disbanded the aircraft were farmed out to various units. One of those units that acquired the ‘used’ aggressor aircraft was the 194th FS in Fresno, CA. They traded in their F-16Cs for F-15s. The aircraft retained their aggressor paint schemes until they were repainted in the Mod Eagle scheme.

This sheet is contained in a ziplock bag. There are two full color pages printed on high quality paper in full color. The side view profiles are on the first page. This gives you the color callouts for three aircraft, one Mod Eagle, one in Flanker paint scheme, and one in Desert Eagle paint. The paint cross references for all three aircraft are included.

The other three sides of the instructions show the upper and lower plan views. Each aircraft has the color callout and cross reference with Testors, Humbrol, Gunze and Xtracrylic paint ranges.

The decals are printed by Microscale so you know they are thin, in register and that they react well with setting solutions. The decals themselves are on two sheets. The main sheet contains the aircraft markings and various stencils. The other sheet contains stencils for two aircraft.

This sheet contains markings and colors for the three various versions used on the Eagles. There are enough stencils to do two different aircraft. If you are looking for something different for your F-15C this is a great sheet for you. Printed by Microscale and researched by Two Bobs along with the color options and stencils for two aircraft makes this a winning decal sheet.

Highly recommended

Thanks to Two Bobs and IPMS/USA for the review sample. You can obtain yours by contacting them directly at www.twobobs.net or your local hobby shop on online retailer.

Reviewer Bio

Floyd S. Werner Jr.

Building models since the age of 7, I’ve become known for my Bf-109s and helicopters. I currently run Werner’s Wings. I was previously the ‘star’ of the Master Class Model Building Video series. I’ve been published numerous times on various website, including Hyperscale and ARC. My work has been in FSM and Great Scale Modeling 2001, as well as, numerous other model magazines. I’m a published author with my Squadron/Signal Walkaround book on the Kiowa Warrior. My models have continuously won many regional and national awards. My unique model photography gives my models instant recognition for their historical perspective.

I’m a retired from the Army after 21 years of flying Cobras and Kiowa Warriors, including tours in Iraq, Bosnia, Korea, and Germany. I’m also a retired Flight Officer for the Baltimore City Police and flew their helicopters chasing bad guys. I’m currently flying Cobras and Hueys with the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation.

I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart, Yvonne, for 42 years. Our daughters have blessed us with six grandchildren. My passions continue to be his family, friends, helicopters, models and airplanes, especially the Bf-109 and my beloved AH-1 Cobra. My motto has always been - MODELING IS FUN!
