If you think it has been a while since the initial Turkish F-16 sheet was released, it was. But now we have the second sheet and it has 18 different options, enough to keep just about anyone happy. I should mention that the first sheet has also been reissued so if you missed it, now is the time to pick that one up.

While the camouflage scheme for these planes is the same, the equipment and block number are not. The instruction booklet provides full information on any differences between the aircraft to help you model the best option. Due to a lack of space, the two seat F-16Ds and additional markings information is provided on-line and that URL is provided in the sheet.

Unlike when I first saw photos of these planes many years back, these are now sporting some sort of tail marking or band to help the units stand out from each other. This sheet carries block 30, 40, and 50 aircraft, some with extended fin sections, from 132, 181, 182, 191, and 192 Filo (squadrons).

The instructions do not recommend any specific kit, but there are a lot of them out there in this scale so finding one that is appropriate should not be an issue at all. I think that Kinetic does a dedicated Turkish AF boxing. The decals themselves are superbly printed by Cartograf so you know you are getting the best. While only one stencil sheet is provided, Caracal offers additional sheets for $5.99.
