I am really hoping
Marmaduke Press decide to
produce more sheets like the
three released for the Meteorwith the new Airix Hunter
being an obvious candidate?

J
ust received from Bullseye
decals is there latest sheet
which supplies a very
nice selection of markings for
the F-16s of the 31st Fighter
Wing based in Italy.
The aircraft from this wing
have carried out over 3000
operational missions from the
conlict over Bosnia as well as
both Gulf Wars. Though the F-16
is painted in two grey camoulage
schemes it still carries some
attractive unit markings, my
favourites are the examples from
the 510th Fighter Squadrons
with the units Seahorse on the
tail though there are a few more
colourful examples on this sheet.1/48 SCALE
