The
Twobobs have been receiving lots of requests for some 1/32nd scale Eagle
decals lately. It's been a while since anyone has come out with a
sheet for this aircraft in this scale and they have obliged with a
pretty popular one they did in 1/48th.
The
33rd Fighter Wing lost more than a few of their members during the
Khobar Towers bombing on 25 June 1996.
Twelve
members of their wing were lost the day before they were supposed to
rotate back to the states. Just goes to show that in this day and
age, it's just not the deployed "ground pounders" that get
themselves in harms way and the 58th FS is one of the most heavily
deployed units in the USAF.
This
sheet features enough markings for one complete jet with enough options
for all three. The Squadron CO jet is the hi-light of this sheet
since it's a three time MiG/Sukhoi Killer. This jet downed three
A/C during Operation Desert Storm. All three were shot down with
the AIM-7M Sparrow. The first kill was a MiG-23 while the other
two were Sukhoi SU-22's. Capt. Glen Rose and Capt. Anthony Murphy
were the pilots responsible for the shoot downs.
