Our friends at Caracal Models have really been cranking out the new decal sheets in the last several weeks. This latest one is another fine ANG sheet, this time, they have adapted their artwork from their 1/48 sheets for the 1/32 scale fans.

This particular set is for the 123 FS/142 FW, Oregon ANG based at Portland IAP. Previously they had flown F-4 Phantom IIs and were one of if not the first ANG unit to get the F-15 Eagle. They have now upgraded to the F-15C and Caracal Models have provided two markings options. These are designed for the Tamiya kit, but may well fit the Revell kit, which is, I believe, the only other 1/32 Eagle kit out there.

You get options for two planes. One is the squadron commander's plane with the full color tail marking and the black serial number. The other is for a regular line jet, but may well be the x.o.'s plane unless the unit is full of Lt.Cols!

The decals are superbly printed and provide a full stencil and insignia suite for one aircraft. Instructions are superbly done and provide not only full color and markings guide, but any notes appropriate for each aircraft in terms of mods.

If you have a fondness for really big jet kits, then you should seriously consider this one for your next build.
