This is the second decal sheet from Zotz Decals and features a special scheme Belgian F-16. The decal sheet is contained on 2 separate decal sheets and contains all the unique "I'll be back!" markings of this special scheme Viper.
The markings were used for the dismantling of 1oth Wing, 23rd Sqd., Kleine-Brogek, Belgium in hopes the unit would be reactivated one day. Stencils are not included in this decal sheet, but purchase information is included on the instruction sheet about how you can purchase stencil decals from Daco Decals.

So....what do you get? Well for one thing you get some beautifully done decals. Eli Raphael at Zotz decals has done a beautiful job replicating the artwork on this one. The Demon with fire coming out of his eyes artwork on both sides of the tail is very delicately done with flawless shading....just like the real aircraft. Usually decals have difficulty doing photographic style gently shaded artwork....cartoon artwork is easy.....but artwork like this is very tricky to do. But Eli has gone and done an outstanding job on these. The decals themselves appear to be regular silk screened decals with a very thin border of clear decal material around the perimeter of the decal artwork.
The 3 pages of instructions are clear enough to follow and should prove no problem and include FS #'s to aid in painting as well as excellent drawings about stencil placements etc. This is an interesting decal sheet with stunning "I'll be back!" markings and is highly recommended for all F-16 fans or folks interest in wild artwork.
These decal sheet retails for US$10 for 1/72, US$13 for 1/48 and US$17 for 1/32 direct through the Albatros/Zotz website or through retailers that carry the Zotz/Albatros decals.
Special thanks to Zotz Decals
for the review sample.
