Zotz Decals 1/48
F-16 '313 Sqn 50 Years Anniversary'

On 1 December 1953, the Royal Netherlands Air Force activated 313 Squadron at Volkel AB. Fifty years later, the squadron was flying combat missions over Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. When the squadron rotated home, its fiftieth anniversary was commemorated on F16AM J-366.

Zotz Decals has captured this tiger scheme in its latest release. This decal set contains the maintenance stencils, national markings and aircraft identification markings - everything you'll need to mark up your Viper.

A separate decal sheet contains the high-color tiger scheme for the aircraft's vertical stabilizer, and another sheet with white backgrounds to improve the color contrast of the high-color markings. You could also simply paint the tail white, apply the markings, and blacken out any white showing at the edges.

The Zotz set covers all the details with photos and with instructions.  The set comes in all three scales and contains recommendations for kits and for aftermarket resin sets. In this case, you can use the Hasegawa F-16A kit, but you'll need the extended tail (now available from Meteor Productions) and the MLU details (now available from Eduard).
