TwoBobs 1/32
F-16C Fighting Fulcrums

This set from TwoBobs Aviation Graphics covers two Aggressor Vipers out of the 57th Wing at Nellis AFB, NV. These aircraft are painted in adversary colors to give pilots a look at the camo against a variety of terrain features during mock aerial combat.

One aircraft is wearing typical MiG-23 Flogger colors, the other is in Su-27 Flanker colors. Both aircraft are GE-powered Block 30 Vipers.

Markings are provided for two aircraft:

• F-16C-30E-CF, 86-0321, Red 21, 414 CTS/57 FWW
• F-16C-30D-CF, 86-0267, Red 67, 414 CTS/57 FWW

National markings and basic stencils are provided for two aircraft.

Building either of these aircraft will require the Hasegawa 1/32 F-16C kit with the widemouth intake and GE nozzle. Seamless intakes and nozzles are available from Cutting Edge.

For those of you looking for a different paint scheme for your Academy 1/32 F-16, don't wander off yet. I was rummaging through the photo files on the USAF website and spotted this Viper Aggressor. If you look close, you'll see it is a Block 42 Viper in interesting colors. You can adapt these decals to render this aircraft if you're wanting to build the Academy kit out of the box.

Tamiya Block 50 kit owners would need the narrow-mouth intake, Pratt exhaust nozzle and the Block 40/42 HUD to get the same aircraft. The intakes and nozzles are available from Cutting Edge.

The printing of these decals is perfectly in register. The instructions are printed double-sided in color, providing excellent color scheme as well as decal placement information.
