Review by Steve Bamford

--------------------

Airliner with similar scheme

A couple of years ago I remember seeing the picture of the airliner with Santa spread across the nose. I remember thinking it was a pretty funny paint scheme. It seems the folks at VS-35 thought the same thing. It's good to see decals of this design. This decal sheet features markings for the CAG bird from the Blue Wolves that was adorned with special Christmas markings for their cruise in 2002. Very humorous and colorful markings for the re-released Italeri S-3B. Complete stencil data for this jet included.

It's a fairly straight forward paint scheme......Santa pinned to the nose with presents spreading down both sides of the fuselage.

On the tail is a large Blue Wolf with a weapon in a holster like a Old Wild West Gun Slinger. The instruction sheets include all the painting info you'll need, plus color numbers for 4 different brands of paint as well as the FS#'s.

The quality of this decal sheet is the usual excellent quality we expect from Two Bobs. They have separated the more complicated decals into two layer to make sure there are no register problems. This would be a very fun model to build for your clubs annual Christmas display.

I'd like to thank the Two Bobs for this review sample.
