F-15E

Here is a very pleasant surprise. This is F-15E 88-1703 of the 334 FS/4 FW based at Seymour-Johnson AFB. This aircraft bears the nose art "One More For The Gipper" with the face of Ronald Reagan and silhouettes of the Wright brothers' aircraft commemorating 100 years of flight. What is more surprising is that TwoBobs is employing a different technique to render the face of Ronald Reagan with more color fidelity.

The final surprise is that the markings are supplied in both 1/48 and 1/32 scale in the same set. Even a complete set of maintenance stencils and national markings are provided in both scales.

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