TwoBobs has given us another interesting subject to model
- the Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk stealth fighter. This set provides
markings for virtually any of the 7th, 8th, and 9th Fighter
Squadrons of the 49th Fighter Wing at Holloman AFB. This set
provides data and spare numbers specifically for the any of
the 21 Black Jets that were deployed to Operation Allied Force.
One subject selected from the 7 FS/49 FW is F-117A 88-806,
callsign Vega 31 on 27 Mar 1999, when it was shot down by a
Yugoslav SA-6 battery, the only F-117 to be lost in combat.
There are enough markings on this decal sheet to turn out
four 1/72 Black Jets and still have spares left over. The printing
is perfectly in register. The instructions are printed double-sided
in color, providing excellent color scheme as well as decal
placement information.

My sincere thanks to TwoBobs
Aviation Graphics for this review sample!
