The nice thing about getting a new Viper in 1/32 scale is the new round of decals that come with it in other scales. Here is a new sheet from TwoBobs that was released in time for the 1/32 Academy F-16CG/CJ Block 40/50 kit, but was also released in 1/48 to support the Hasegawa Block 40 Viper as well.

In this set, we have three 23rd Fighter Wing Vipers that carry the Flying Tiger tradition of the sharkmouth and wear the FT tailcode. These aircraft, all stationed at Pope AFB, NC, are big-mouth, GE-powered Block 40 Vipers. The first aircraft is the 74th FS Commander's aircraft, the second is a line aircraft from the 74th, while the third is an F-16D assigned to the 23rd Wing's Commander.

The three aircraft in this set are:

  • F-16CG Block 40, 90-0776, 74 FS/23 FW, Squadron Commander's aircraft, 1994
  • F-16CG Block 40, 88-0516, 74 FS/23 FW, 1994
  • F-16DG Block 40, 88-0170, 23 FW, Wing Commander's aircraft, 1994
F-16C F-16C

Maintenance stencils and sharkmouths are provided for two aircraft.

If you're going to be adding one or more of these beautiful Hasegawa Vipers to your scale flightline, then you'll definitely want to get this set as well! This set is highly recommended!
