--------------------

This is the first decal sheet from Zotz Decals and features a Tiger scheme Belgian F-16.  The decal sheet is contained on 2 separate decal sheets and contains all the unique Tiger markings of this Tiger scheme Viper.  Stencils are not included in this decal sheet, but purchase information is included on the instruction sheet about how you can purchase stencil decals from Daco Decals.

So....what do you get?  Well for one thing you get some beautifully done decals.  Eli Raphael at Zotz decals has done a beautiful job replicating the artwork on this one.  The artwork on both sides of the tail is very delicately done with flawless shading....just like the real aircraft.  Usually decals have difficulty doing photographic style gently shaded artwork....cartoon artwork is easy.....but artwork like this is very tricky to do.  But Eli has gone and done an outstanding job on these.  The decals themselves appear to be regular silk screened decals with a very thin border of clear decal material around the perimeter of the decal artwork.  You also get Tiger stripe decals for the fin on the underside of the rear fuselage.  As well as the Tiger Stripe decal for the nose gear door.
The 3 pages of instructions are clear enough to follow and should prove no problem.  This is an interesting decal sheet with stunning Tiger Meet  markings and is highly recommended for all Tiger Meet and F-16 fans.
