MSRP: $12.00 Website: www.twobobs.net Two things I love are small Air Forces and F-16s. So when TwoBobs combine both on the same sheet, it has got to be good. The Peace Puma Program dealt with the delivery of 10 F-16s to the Chilean Air Force. Bob has included markings to enable you to build any one of the ten planes. The 48th scale sheet includes National markings to build 2 different aircraft while the split 72nd & 32nd sheet has full markings for one plane in each scale. Full color instructions are included with 4 view drawings showing decal placement and camoflage for both the single seater and the two seater. Some small detail photos of the real McCoy, a brief history, kit/aftermarket suggestions and color matches are included. The decals are spot on in register. My only issue with these releases is that I build 72nd scale aircraft. $12.00 seems like a lot to pay to be able to build one aircraft and than have half a sheet left over in 32nd scale. Now I have read Bob's explanation on why he does this and have read other independent decal companies that don't produce 72nd scale sheets because they cannot sell their stock while the 48th scale modelers keep them in business. I understand they are doing this to make money and unsold sheets don't pay the bills. Still, as a consumer, I would like to build at least a couple different birds for this kind of money. That said, these are excellent decals and if you have an interest in F-16s or smaller Air Forces, pick up a sheet. By the way, anybody interested in doing a 32nd scale version and has the TwoBobs Polish sheet they want to trade the 72nd scale version, let me know. Thanks to TwoBobs for the review samples. Make sure you visit him at his booth during this years National Convention.
