The 2 pages of instructions

aircraft and 2 photos showing the excellent
resin CCIP
Update set from Shull24.com to build an accurate representation of these
jets. Paint codes in FS#'s and Testors, Humbrol, Gunze Sangyo and
Xtracrylics is also included on the instruction sheet.
Special thanks for help on this sheet goes out to Don Logan and all the
other fine folks at the Fighter Weapons school.
The perfectly printed decals
are contained on 3 decal sheets with some decals coming in 2 layers to
ensure perfect registration and even white decals to go under some decals to
maintain the rich colors of the top decal. You also get 3 complete set
of stencils.
I was pleased to see a sheet
for the F-16's at the Fighter Weapons School and the CCIP
Update will give you a very unique F-16.
I would like to thank Twobobs
for this
product
sample.
This sheet is available through
the Twobobs
website and select US Hobby Shops. Overseas customers can purchase these from
Twobobs site or through Twobobs network of overseas distributors.
