TwoBobs has been doing a whole range of decals recently, most of them concentrating on Enduring Freedom and the events that led to it. Not much of a war in terms of shooting things down from the sky, but the only one we have to work with.

Thanks to the very good research done by these guys, the accuracy of the sheets is superb. All TwoBobs sheets include a number of very small images of the real planes so those of you with young eyes will be able to use them to help with decal placement. There is also an addendum info sheet in every set that includes helpful information like normal load-outs and where to get all this stuff! A listing of available aftermarket stuff  is also included.

The three planes on this sheet are all from VFA-87, as TwoBobs invariably does all the aircraft on a sheet from the same unit. In this case, you get the CAG bird and two other 'normal' aircraft of which there is enough 'stuff' to do two planes if you scrounge the lerex-walk markings from another source. That lerex walk area is on an addendum sheet not shown.

It is a super sheet and if you are into things up to date, you really can't get more topical than what is provided by TwoBobs.
