Here's a review of a new release from Twobobs. This is another in the Twobobs series of decals featuring aircraft from the various USAF Fighter Weapons Schools. This sheet features markings for two complete F-15E's from the 57th Wing of the Nellis AFB Fighter Weapons School. The Air Force originally activated 57th Fighter Wing on 20 September 1948 up in Alaska. On 15 October 1969, the Air Force activated the wing as the 57th Fighter Weapons Wing, stationed at Nellis AFB with a new mission: providing graduate-level fighter pilot training and demonstration of tactical fighter weapons systems and tactics using F-4, F-100, F-105, and F-111 aircraft. The mission of the 57th Wing is to provide advanced aerospace training to worldwide combat air forces and showcase aerospace power to the world.

Both of these jets are both overall FS 36118 Medium Gunship Gray with black markings. One jet has a white outline for the big "WA" and numbers on the tails. Both Strike Eagles on this sheet has yellow and black checked fin flashes at the top of the tails. Two complete set of stencils is included along with 2 full sets of formation lights. One the inside of the tails on one of the jet is artwork of a bald eagle with wings flared and talons extended. One the side of the conformal fuel tanks is the 57th wing badge and one the tails is the Air Combat command shield.

I always get a kick out of seeing the F-15E Strike Eagle and the instruction sheets contains 7 color photos of the F-15E's in action. The instructions also include 4 view color drawings of these jets showing stencils placement and these jets are covered with stencils.

The decals are the usual high quality we have come to enjoy from Twobobs.

Special thanks for marking this sheet possible goes to Don Logan and all the fine folks at the fighter Weapons school.

This sheet retails for $11.50 and is available through http://www.twobobs.net/ and select US Hobby Shops. Overseas customers can purchase these from Twobobs site or through Twobobs network of overseas distributors. Remember, shipping is always FREE to US Customers at Twobobs!!
