Fab Scale Decals sheet FD72017 provides markings for F-16C-30 85-1565 and F-16A-10 82-0928 from the 185th FW at Sioux City, Iowa. These aircraft were marked to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 185th FW. The F-16C was painted in 1996; in 2022, the wing painted a static display F-16A-10 to replicate the previously-marked F-16C.
Both aircraft were overall gold. The fin carried a large black bat with "IOWA" on the upper fin."185 FW" was carried on the lower fin, with "SIOUX CITY" on the fin base.On the left fuselage was carried "The Bats" and "50TH ANNIVERSARY", with "PRIDE OF SIOUXLAND" on the right fuselage. The lower skegs were black and carried "1946-1996"
Instructions follow the standard Fab Scale approach - three sheets with left and right side views with color information.
