The fourth aircraft is a F-15C 86-0168 flown by Capt Kevin Coleman in 2006.  The paint scheme for this aircraft is FS 36251 overall and FS 36176 camo on the top side.  The side of the engine intake contains the 390th Fighter Squadron Wild Boars squadron artwork.  

The fifth aircraft is a F-15C 86-0170 flown by Capt Greg Young in 2006.  The paint scheme for this aircraft is FS 36251 overall and FS 36176 camo on the top side.  The side of the engine intake contains the 390th Fighter Squadron Wild Boars squadron artwork.  

The instructions are clear and include 4 views of these aircraft to help you get the camo pattern and markings correct.  You also get a full page of black and white line drawings showing decal placement including the landing gear stencils.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet with 2 additional smaller insert sheets.  Two complete set of stencils are included on this decal sheet.

The Mountain Home Squadron is one of the best know squadrons with it's history from WW2 to the present day and this sheet is sure to be popular with the jet modelers.
