Continuing the pace of releases, this sheet from Caracal Decals (CD72019) covers a number of late-block F-16s, including one in the new Have Glass V scheme. Only one aircraft is USAF, the others being foreign air force aircraft.
- F-16C-50 91-0391 from the 148th FW, Minnesota ANG during 2014. This was painted in the new Have Glass V scheme, with all markings in medium grey. The aircraft carried a blue fin stripe containing "DULUTH" in grey and a large bulldog on the fin, together with the tailclode and "148th FW";
- F-16C-52 03-0060 "4060" from the Polish Air Force during the 2011 NATO Tiger Meet;

- F-16C-52 "1607" from the Iraqi Air Force during 2014.
As usual with Caracal, the instructions are in full colour and comprise a small 8-sided booklet with 3 views for each aircraft.
The decals are perfectly printed by Cartograf and are relatively thin.
Another highly-recommended sheet!
