Sheet 72-021 "Ladies, Hound & Sharks" from Wolfpak Decals covers a wide range of subjects, including the RB-47H, HC-130P, HC-130H, F-16CJ and KC-135R:-

  • RB-47H 53-4296 from the 55th SRW based at Offut AFB. There are two sets of markings provided - early and late and the aircraft was overall natural metal
  • A-4F 155022 from VA-164 aboard USS Hancock

  • F-16CG Block 40C 88-0486 from the 524th FS, 27th FW, OIF, Iraq during March 2003, painted in the two tone grey scheme of FS36118 and FS36270

    As usual, the sheet is well printed with everything in register, the decal film itself is thin and there is very little overlap of film.  Instructions follow the usual standard for Wolfpak, with a front sheet containing colour side views of each airframe, black and white camouflages schemes, and several pages of additional reference and colour details for modellers.
