For a reason I can't explain, its been a while since I've posted an update from the great folks over at Twobobs. They have recently released the NAVY 1 decal insert which allows you to model the S-3B Viking that carried President Bush onboard USS Abraham Lincoln.

The large picture to the right shows the Santa Tracker decals of VS-35, a set of 1/48 scale markings for the S-3 aircraft. If you have already ordered that set of decals, all you need to do is contact Twobobs to have the Navy 1 (small picture) sheet shipped to you free of charge. Anyone who orders the Santa Tracker decals will get the Navy 1 insert for free. The 1/72 scale version of the Santa Tracker markings includes the Navy 1 markings on the sheet so no insert required.

Besides the Navy 1 decals, Twobobs has lots of other decals that are becoming available. Here's a quick rundown of what they are:
