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!
