This decal sheet has interested me for some time as I have a conversion of the F-15E Strike Eagle on my model desk.  Thus when the opportunity came to do this review-I jumped at the chance.

The decal sheet-there is only one-is in excellent color and register, clear, no apparent defects and is accurate to details researched on the internet.  This is in keeping with the Twobobs record of excellent decals for all subjects.  The decals are for the F-15E's stationed at Seymour-Johnson AFB in South Carolina and include a Ronald Reagan tribute decal and five other decal options from cartoon based nose art to a optional color or stenciled version of Saddam getting his just desserts.

I find the sheets included very useful for decal placement, painting schematics, FS color references and the paint equivalents.  Finally one also gets a listing of the kits of the 1/72 Strike eagle that are available, a nice touch.

My only real complaint is that the tribute to President Reagan seemed too long; looking like a legal brief also I would have liked a scale set to allow me either to use the sheet as is or to expand/reduce copy the info sheet to allow me to use the excellent photos as a template for construction.

 
If you are doing a 1/72 scale F-15E Strike Eagle this sheet needs to be in your collection, thus I recommend this sheet to all modelers.
