This latest sheet from Isradecal could be giving some of you a bit of deja'vu. You are probably thinking that this subject has already been done. Well, yes for the most part. First off, ID #21, the previous sheet, has been sold out for a while. It was just natural that an updated version of this sheet should be produced.
Like the previous sheet, it has all six of the F-16C/D units; First Jet Squadron, Knights of the North Squadron, Valley Squadron, Scorpion Squadron, First Fighter Squadron, and the Test and Evaluation Unit. This one also has the new First Fighter Squadron markings as designed by IsraDecal's own Ra'anan Weiss. Also like the earlier release, there are enough letters so that any Barak that has been in the inventory. All you need is a photo. There are also sufficient common markings and insignia to do two aircraft. As a bonus, there is an additional sub-sheet with IAF 50th anniversary markings to apply as needed.
A trademark of Isradecal sets is a superb and most comprehensive instruction booklet. This includes both profiles and photos of the actual aircraft as well as a detailed stencil placement guild.
In all, you can't find a better set on this important IAF aircraft.
