The war over Kosovo saw a first for the USAF and that was the downing of a Mig-29 by an F-16. To commemorate that action in  May of 1999 (yes, it has been three years), Twobobs has produced this sheet of Shaw F-16Cs that includes that particular aircraft then and now.

The aircraft are all in standard F-16C camo schemes, though the Kosovo version of 91-353 has a replacement canopy from another plane. You can tell that by the mis-aligned camo markings on the replacement canopy. Not all F-16 camo schemes are identical!

There are three markings on this sheet. First is 91-353 as it was right after it got its kill; you can also model it with the Yugoslav flag kill marking it received just prior to returning to the States. The second aircraft is this same plane, but now as the boss bird for the 77 FS. Finally, a 78 FS boss bird that flew the 1,000th Kosovo combat sortie.

A nice sheet to go along with your favorite 1/48 F-16C kit.
