Freshly arrived from Euro Decals comes a spectacular 1:32 sheet with markings for a quartet of F-16Cs of the Wisconsin ANG.

The sheet is superbly printed by Ray Horwell at Fantasy Printshop, with the thin and glossy items boasting pin-sharp registration. The alignment on the unit's badger tail artwork is jaw-droppingly precise, with six colours negating any need for separate overlays.

The "Badger Air Militia" subjects featured are:

1. F-16C Block 30 Fighting Falcon, sn. 87-0348, flown by Maj. Bob Bello, Madison, 2017
2. F-16C Block 30 Fighting Falcon, sn. 87-0278, flown by Col. Jeff Weigand, Madison, 2015
3. F-16C Block 30 Fighting Falcon, sn. 87-0278 again, this time flown by Col. Joe Brandemuehl in anniversary markings, Madison, 2015
4. F-16C Block 30 Fighting Falcon, sn. 87-0234, flown by Maj. Glenn Messner in anniversary markings, Madison, 1999

The anniversary markings are pretty spectacular, with the aircraft sporting coloured fins. A really nice touch is that the red stripes of the US flag for Option 4 are left clear so that the colour matches whichever brand of paint you use for the fin exactly (I have to admit it caught me out and my heart missed a beat at what I mistook for pale blue stripes when I examined the sheet!).

Also included is a comprehensive set of servicing stencil markings, with crisp definition allowing even the smallest text to be clearly legible under a magnifier.

The decals are accompanied by a simple and neat set of instructions, with colour profiles and plan views for each scheme doubling as stencil placement guides. Colour call-outs are given in each case for FS numbers, along with matches for Humbrol, Xtracolour, Xtracrylix and Lifecolor modelling paints.

Conclusion

Euro Decals' 176th Sqn. Wisconsin ANG markings are fantastic quality and provide some really attractive schemes for anyone building a 1:32 F-16C. Highly recommended.
