Following declassification of the activities of the 4477th TES (otherwise known as the "Red Eagles" during 2006, there have been a number of books published, but this is the first decal sheet to cover the subject. Wolfpak Decals sheet 72-077 provides markings for a mixture of types from the 4477th, including the T-38A, MiG-23MS and F-7II. It also covers T-38A and A-7D aircraft from the 4450th TG (whose primary aircraft was the F-117A). Rounding out the sheet is an E-8C from the 116th ACW. The individual aircraft featured are:-

 Instructions comprise a single color side view for each aircraft, black and white camouflage schemes and eight black and white pages containing aircraft histories, color information and weapons loadouts.

The decals are printed by Fantasy Printshop and are commendably thin and on register; the only item of note is that the Insignia Blue for the "USAF", "U.S.AIR FORCE" and stars'n'bars appears a little light.

Yet another great sheet from Wolfpak, which has been highly appreciated by some amongst us!
