This next new sheet is for the brand new Hobby Boss 1/48 F-111E kit. The sheet includes markings for three planes in the scheme they wore for most of their career which is the standard SEA (South East Asia) paint scheme with black undersurfaces.

All of these aircraft are from the 77FS and include the boss bird. In fact, that is the first option. Assigned to LtCol Wes Trevette, 'Gamblers Last Deal' has red serial markings and a bunch of mission markings on the nose.

Next is 68-0059, "The Mad Bomber", which was assigned to LtCol Osborne.

The third option is Capt. 'Cut' Razor's "The Wild Hare". All planes have a red fin tip, the color of the 77FS.

This sheet includes all the major markings (like the air refueling stripes and slime lights) and insignia for all three 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.
