| Here's a review
of a new 1/48 sheet from Afterburner Decals.
Current F-16C/D Block 40 markings for 524th FS Commander's jet, plus 4 line jets. The 524th FS jets are subjects that have been neglected in decal form up until now. Jets included:
There are 2 complete sets of stencils included. The decals are sized for the Hasegawa kits. |

The decals are
in-register, clear and are beautifully printed. Many of the tail markings
and badges are 2 piece decals, ensuring good registry.
The color instruction sheet has 4-view drawings to assist in decal placement and the paint scheme. Also, modeler notes point out tips on specific decals. |

extensive text on:
The other side of the sheet has detailed 4-view drawings for stencil placement, as well as the 10 structural strength plates (scab plates). A small note on the page with the aircraft side-profiles and markings: The modeler's note about items in parentheses, on the left top side, seems to have cut off some text. The text "the opposite side" is supposed to be there. But I assume most modelers would have figured that out. Special thanks are given to:
