The inclusion of some many markings including the drop tank markings is always good to see, but we have come to expect that attention to detail from Twobobs.

The instruction sheet includes 10 detail photos of various areas on these jets.

Special thanks goes out to Capt Daniel "Dozer" Dwyer, LT Tyler Hurst and Caot. Chris "Murdock" Putre for all their help on this decal sheet.

The sheet captures 2 of the classic Argos jets from this cruise.

I would like to thank Twobobs for this product sample.
