Afterburner Decals 1/48 "Knights & Dragons"

By Frank Anselmo

One of the newer releases from Afterburner Decals is sheet AD48-020, Knights & Dragons. The decal sheet contains the markings for 5 separate F-16CG Block 40 aircraft assigned to the 86th Fighter Wing at Ramstein AB Germany in 1994. One aircraft is presented twice with markings from two separate squadrons that same year. These are the aircraft:

-89-2050 F-16CG Block 40 512th FS Commanders Jet April 1994
-88-0526 F-16CG Block 40 526th FS Commanders Jet Operation Deny Flight Apr 94
-89-2009 F-16CG Block 40 Operation Deny Flight 28 February 1994 1 Jastreb Kill
-89-0800 F-16DG Block 40 Ramstein AB Germany February 1994
-89-2137 F-16CG Block 40 Operation Deny Flight 28 February 1994 3 Jastreb Kills
-89-2137 F-16CG Block 40 Operation Deny Flight April 1994

Afterburner Decals provide sufficient stencils on this sheet to complete 2 aircraft.

The instruction sheets are comprised of 3 full color pages for the individual aircraft contained in this package, along with a full page Stencil Guide. There is also a section on the history of the 86th Fighter Wing as well as information on Operation Deny Flight. Some Modeling Notes are also included, along with Weapons Loadouts for the flights of February 28, 1994.

The decals themselves are printed in perfect register with a minimum of carrier film.

This and other Afterburner Decals can be ordered from their website . This sheet is highly recommended.

My thanks to Scott Brown of Afterburner Decals for this review sheet.
