1/48 F-15C Digital Flanker decal sheet

Product # 48-238

Product Article by Steve Bamford on May 24 2012

 

 

This decal sheet from Twobobs features all three scales (72nd, 48th, 32nd) of this Digital Flanker scheme are captured on this sheet.

This F-15C was the first of multiple aircraft from the 65th Aggressor Squadron that were to be painted with this scheme that is patterned after a Sukhoi SU-30B Flanker demo scheme. After this aircraft was painted, it was announced that the 65th Aggressor Squadron would be disbanded and therefore, no other jets would be painted with this eye catching paint job.

Coined with the nick-name "Digital Flanker" by squadron personnel, this aircraft debuted to the public at the 2011 Nellis Airshow. We have captured this jet in all three scales in this one product and include full stencils as well as intake/exhaust plug markings, wheel chock markings and ALE-47 Chaff/Flare dispenser markings. The ALE-47 markings represent the typical loadout carried by this aircaft during Red Air missions.

The instructions are clear and include 4 views of this aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 2 decal sheets with 1 smaller insert decal sheet.  Paint codes are called out in FS #'s, Testors MM, Humbrol, Gunze Sangyo and Xtracrylics. 

This is without a doubt one of the coolest looking F-15 paint schemes ever and this sheet will sell out very quickly as it includes all 3 scales.  Get it while you can.

I would like to thank Twobobs for this review sample.

This sheet is available through the Twobobs website and select US Hobby Shops.  Overseas customers can purchase these from Twobobs site or through Twobobs network of overseas distributors.
