NOTES:

 

Next from Wolfpak Decals is this nice sheet that again has options for five older aircraft.

First is an A-7D of the 146 TFS, Pennsylvania ANG based at Pittsburgh in 1981. Standard SEA camouflage with the later black lettering.

Next is a Royal Lao Air Force C-47A from sometime in the late 1960s or early 1970s. This aircraft is in overall aluminum lacquer and was configured for VIPs.

The first F-105F was from the 34th TFS/388 TFW in April 1967. This was based at Korat and has the standard SEA camouflage.

Next is a C-123B From 1966 when AMC was MATS. This aircraft has a white upper surface with aluminum most everywhere else. The fuselage band, nose and wing tips are in da-glo, making for a colorful aircraft.

Finally, the second F-105F with the 34th TFS/388th TFW from 1967. This one has a modified camouflage scheme that wraps to the underside of the aircraft. A diagram of this scheme is provided in the instructions.

Again, the artifacts on the scans are from my scanner and not the decals.

The instruction sheet for this set is the best in the business when it comes to background information and what may be needed to accurately depict the aircraft being modeled. In addition to the actual placement profiles, there are several additional pages of information that include a history of the type,  kits and update bits for these schemes,  as well as load-out information, and any changes needed to properly model the aircraft in question, assuring you of the most accurate model you can have. A listing of kits and conversion sets is also included. A visit to their web site will get you much larger images of the markings options.

As with the previous sheets, these are superbly printed by Fantasy Printshop and without any registration problems. If you have not yet treated yourself to some of the best researched decals around, you should.

Thanks to WolfPak Decals for the review sample.
