This sheet from Wolfpak Decals covers a number of interesting subjects.  The USAF airframes covered are as follows:-

  • T-38C-70-NO 67-14846 from the 469th FTS, 80th FTW, Sheppard AFB, Texas during April 2010. This aircraft carried an attractive 2-tone gloss grey scheme of FS16118 and FS16473. The 469th FTS is the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training unit (ENJJPT) and the aircraft carried grey "EN" tailcodes, a grey "469 FTS" marking on the fin, a green fin flash containing a bull and "FIGHTING BULLS" script in black, together with a grey NATO symbol on the fin;
  • F-16C-25F 85-1406 from the 134th FS, 158th FW, Vermont ANG, OIF during August 2004. This aircraft carried the 2-tone grey scheme of FS36118 and FS36270, but was extremely battered and had many repainted areas. It carried a grey "minuteman" on the fin, green fin band containing "VERMONT" in yellow lettering, grey serials and "The Green Mountain Boys" in green on the lower fin;

As is usual with Wolfpak, instructions comprise a single color side view of each airframe, black and white camouflage diagrams (where relevant) and detailed history, unit, weapon and colour notes for each aircraft.

The sheet is beautifully printed (by Fantasy Printshop), in perfect register, and contains enough markings for each of the main types, and one KC-135R/T.
