Here's a review of a new 1/48 sheet from Twobobs.

Enough markings for two complete jets from the Red Rippers. Both of these aircraft carry "Thanks for the Ride" noseart and represent the retirement and retro scheme applied to these aircraft before their departure to AMARC and the museum at Grissom ARB, Indiana.
