This next new sheet is for the brand new Hobby Boss kit. The sheet includes markings for two planes marked in the standard SEA (South East Asia) paint scheme, including the light grey undersides. There are markings for two aircraft on this one.

First one is from the 4539th Fighter Weapons Squadron at Nellis AFB in 1968. This unit basically qualifies all the weapons systems and works out tactics for the airframe.

The other is for the 430 TFS in late 1969 upon their return from Viet Nam. While in country the upper fin stripe was not applied, that being added after their return.

This sheet includes all the major markings (like the air refueling stripes and the fin HF radio antenna) and insignia for both options.

Cartograf is now Superscale's default printer and the sheet is superbly done.  The full color instructions provide an exact placement guide for you.
