Bullseye Decals
B
ullseye Decals do not
release sheets that
frequently but when they
do they are well worth the wait,
as they are well researched and
always pick some interesting
modern US Air Force aircraft
even if they are nearly always
shades of grey. This sheet is
pretty typical of the range. During
the course of the irst Gulf War
the F-15C eagles lew over 5000
sorties and totally dominated
the battleield, Unfortunately,
nose art was not a big thing on
the F-15C leet though there are
a couple of examples as well as
one option with a kill marking.1/48 SCALE

Another comprehensive
sheet that includes stencilsand national insignia for two
aircraft And the decals also
include data plates for both the
undercarriage legs and ejection
seats something that most
other manufacturers ignore.
This sheet, along with the
others in the Bullseye range
are available exclusively
from Sprue Brothers and we
thank them for supplying
the review sample.On Target Decals
I
f you like 1/72 scale modern
aircraft I am sure you are
now familiar with On target
decals from Air Graphics? If
not you really need to check
out their range of which this
new sheet is pretty typical.
This new sheet covers training
aircraft from the Royal Air Force
and British commonwealth which
means you have a nice selection
of fast jet trainers as well as a
Shorts Tucano in World War 2
camoulage and a probably the
only appearance of a Eurocopter
Squirrel on a decal sheet!
The instructions supply full
colour proiles with painting
guides to a number of major
manufacturers from around theworld as well as a list of upgrade
parts that are available from
the Air Graphic resin range.1/72 SCALE
