MSRP: $11.50 each Web Site: www.twobobs.net Twobobs has also released 4 sets in 72nd that detail the aircraft of the 57th Wing based out of Elmendorf AFB, Alaska. The instructions have full color profiles showing the decal locations, FS numbers, and pictures of the actual aircraft. However, there is no detail history about each aircraft. In fact, only the F-15C sheet mentions the 57th Wing at all and none of the other sheets have any detailed descriptions other than some information about the CCIP Upgrade on the F-16 sheet. The sheets do include a few more of those tiny pictures to make up for the lack of history. The FS numbers still include matches to Testors, Humbrol, Gunze Sangyo, Xtracolor and Xtracrylics paints. The familiar lists of kit suggestions and aftermarket stuff are also included. Each sheet includes full markings for 2 aircraft (3 on the F-16 sheet) giving you the capability of a pretty full flight line (especially if you get the new Arctic Aggressor sheet Bob is coming out with). Some of the markings are made up of multiple layers. This is still something that I find fiddly to deal with but a lot of other modelers really like this feature and, as long as you can place them straight, does help avoid registration issues. I want to thank Bob Sanchez at Twobobs for supplying the decals.
