First Look
Here is the latest release from Caracal Models that will provide some interesting options for your favorite 1/48 late-block F-16C kit. There are four subjects plus two sets of stencils so you can render two complete aircraft out of this one release.
The subjects covered in this set include:
- F-16C Block 52, 03-0060, Polish AF, Tigermeet 2011
- F-16C Block 52, 08-8016, Royal Moroccan AF, 2012
- F-16C Block 40, 98-2012, Royal Bahraini AF, 2012
- F-16C Block 50, 01-2116, Royal Air Force of Oman, 2010
The markings are nicely printed (by Cartograf) and provide national markings, distinctive tail art markings as well as a nice set of airframe stencils. The decals are all single-layer - none of them require you to stack one decal atop another to recreate complex art as with some other decal manufacturers.

My sincere thanks to Caracal Models for this review sample!
