Decal Review

In this set, four Thuds from the 355 TFW are highlighted:

  • F-105D-10-RE, 60-0504, 357 TFS/355 TFW, Memphis Belle II (double MiG killer now on display at the USAF museum)
  • F-105D-25-RE, 62-4229, 357 TFS/355 TFW, Jeanie II

Unlike many other decals in this scale, Albatros also includes the aircraft identification stencil with the appropriate serial numbers included. In addition to the full color profile in this set, Albatros also includes a copy of the camouflage pattern from USAF TO 1-1-4 for the F-105 to aid the modeler with accuracy.
