You've seen it before. Someone builds a stunning aircraft
model, but then slaps some missiles on it as almost an afterthought
with no corresponding attention to detail. The result detracts
from the overall model! The fault isn't neccessarily theirs,
most kit manufacturers pay little or no attention to the weapons.
If I've read it once, I've seen it a million times on the online
chat rooms "What color is such and such missile?" There is
precious little information out there for the average modeler
to work with.
TwoBobs to the rescue! In this decal set, they've provided
the safety markings for four AIM-120B/C AMRAAM air-to-air missiles
and four AGM-88C HARM missiles. The AMRAAMS are now common
missiles with the F-15, F-16, FA-18 and more. The HARMS are
anti-radiation missiles that reach out and smite SAM sites,
and are carried by the F-16CJ/DJ Vipers, FA-18 Hornets, EA-6B
Prowlers and more.
The printing is perfectly in register. The instructions are
printed double-sided in color, providing excellent color scheme
as well as decal placement information.
There are very few decal sheets that I'd suggest stocking
up on, but if you're modeling more than one 1/48 modern fighter
in your future, you're going to want to get several of these
sheets! Highly recommended!
