This new decal sheet from Wolfpak Decals includes markings for 11 different 1/72 scale aircraft and most of them with artwork of some sort. 

The 11 aircraft include quite the variety of aircraft including some that were involved in historical missions/operations.

  • F-16CG Block 40F Serial No 89-2074, 18th FS, 354th FW, OIF 2001-2002, 9-11 artwork and mission markings

  • AH-64A SC ARNG Serial No 94-0332, South Carolina ARNG, Task Force 1-151, 25th INF-DIV (L), Palm Tree artwork

  • F-16CJ Block 52P Serial No 92-3902, SC ANG, 157th FS, 169 FW, OEF 2003, drop tank artwork and mission markings

  • F-16DJ Block 52P Serial No 92-3924, SC ANG, 157th FS, 169 FW, OEF 2007, drop tank artwork and mission markings

  • AC-130H Serial No 69-6572, 16th SOS, 16th SOW, OIF 2003, flaming skull artwork with a big gatling gun

  • A-10A  Serial No 79-0119, 303rd FS, 442nd FW AFRC, Bagram AFB, Spring 2008, cartoon artwork of a character holding a big gatling gun and mission markings

  • AH-1F "Sandshark" Serial No 67-15643, N Troop 4th Sqd, 2nd ACR, Desert Storm 1991, "Sandshark" text artwork and sharks mouth under the nose

  • E-8A JSTARS  Registration No N770JS, 4411th Sqd, Desert Storm 1991

  • MI-17 Hip CIA , Iraq (US Markings)

  • C-141B  Serial No 64-0630, SOLL II 16th AS, 437th AW Charleston AFB, SC 1998

The 12 pages of instructions include 10 pages of exhaustive text about each aircraft plus 2 pages of drawings that include 1 view of each aircraft and 3 views of the more complicated camo schemes.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet.

Of the 11 aircraft featured on this decal sheet, 8 have some sort of artwork.  The inclusion of the  "Sandshark" AH-1F makes this sheet very interesting, but there are so many markings that can capture a modellers interest including the late model F-16's and the Desert Storm era aircraft and the larger aircraft that are seldom represented on decal sheets.  Another very interesting decal sheet from Wolfpak Decals.
