Review Type:

First Look.

Advantages:

Handy supplement for finishing models of USAF and Israeli Air Force F-16s.

Disadvantages:

None apparent.

Conclusions:

These decals are probably most useful for finishing Israeli machines where stencils in Hebrew script are required, as presumably most kits feature US-style markings in English for their drop-tanks.

I am happy to recommend this decal set.

Background

Armycast M&M’s website introduction gives a brief background of the company's four members. They obviously take pride in their products, and proclaim that they believe “their products will speak to you.”  Armycast M&M offer an interesting range of products in 1/72, 1/48 and 1/35 scales; and I encourage readers to take the time to check out their website. images to do most of the talking.

 

Decal Set

The two accompanying images really make a lengthy description unnecessary.

 

 

The decal sheet comes in small zip-lock plastic bag with a paper header enclosed. The header identifies the location of the markings for the F-16’s 300-gallon and 370-gallloon drop-tanks.  US and Israeli stencils are provided, and there are “bonus” decals for the LAU-114 launch rail for the AIM-9 missile.  The decals appear to be nicely printed. For some reason they are recommended for the Hasegawa kit, but no doubt they will prove suitable for other brands of F-16 kit as well.
