Siam Scale is a decal company based in in the Far East and their decals focus mostly on Air Forces of the Far East, but they also do decals for aircraft of other Air Forces....such as Israel.  This 1/48 decal sheet focuses on 8 different F-16's of the Republic of Singapore Air Force.  There are enough stencils included to build 2 of the 8 planes featured on this decal sheet. 

This set is fairly straight forward.  The colour picture below is the only clue about paint colours and camo.  I'm guessing the RSAF F-16's are done using standard US F-16 como layout and colours.....at least it looks the same.  One of the 2 seaters has a tinted front canopy half as seen in the colour photo below.   Because the F-16's of the RSAF are a standard paint scheme, the only real question is what markings go on each plane.  The 4 pages of instruction sheets provide detailed info on decal placement and that side of things is covered in very well.  Markings are different on each plane for the coloured lines at the top of the tail as well as the Squadron Emblems on the tail and the plane numbers etc.  The RSAF F-16A's and F-16B's have orange stencils for many of the stencils, which is interesting.

The decals are clearly printed and should settle down just fine with your regular techniques.  The colour of the decals looks very good and the text on the tiny stencil decals is very clear.  

All in all a nice set of decals of the Republic of Singapore Air Force F-16's and I recommend these to anyone wanting to add a Republic of Singapore Air Force F-16 to their display case.
