Twobobs is taking
their 1/48 Buckeye decal sheets and resizing them for the 1/72 modellers to
enjoy. The sheet include not only the 2 US Navy trainers but there is also
bonus markings on this sheet for the 75th Anniversary of Naval Aviation.
This decal sheet set comes with markings for
4 different
aircraft with enough stencils for two complete jets. This sheet is a scaled down
version of the Twobobs 1/48 Navy Buckeye decal release with the addition of the 75th Anniversary
Buckeye. Buckeyes from VT-19 "Frogs", VT-23 "The
Professionals" and VT-26 "Flying Tigers" are all included on this
sheet.
The stencil data is extremely complete and captures all the servicing markings
that were very prevalent on these white aircraft.
Although these jets may all look the
same there are subtle differences as they come from VT-19 "Frogs",
VT-23 "The Professionals" and VT-26 "Flying Tigers", so there is different
stripes or stars on the tail or artwork to make each jet unique.
With the re-release via Revell of the Matchbox kit, these markings are just in time for your 72nd scale Buckeye.

Recommended Kits:
The
4 pages of instructions are clear and
include 4 views of each aircraft. The decals are beautifully printed on 1
decal sheet. Paint codes are called out in FS #'s, Testors MM,
Humbrol, Gunze Sangyo and Xtracrylics.
This sheet with the 3 Navy Buckeyes and the addition of the Buckeye in the 75th Anniversary of Naval
Aviation markings gives you an excellent selection of markings for your next 1/72
Buckeye. I am very impressed that Twobobs has chosen to give so much
attention to the Buckeye, this is a long neglected subject.
This sheet 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.
