This is a new decal sheet from Cutting Edge Modelworks.  This 1/32 scale decal sheet includes decals for the 1/32 F-105 from Trumpeter for 2 different F-105's. 
There is two planes featured on this decal sheet..... "Pussy Galore II" with some huge nudie nose art.  The name for this jet came from the James Bond movie Gold Finger.

This aircraft is a F-105D-31-RE flown by Capt Vic Vizcarra of the 80th TFS out of Takhi, Thailand in October 1966.  The nose art was created to help give the mid-air refueler boom operators on the tankers a better target for the boom.......it seems the boom operators were more used to refuelling the sluggish B-52's and were having difficulties refuelling the F-105.  This particular jet is painted in SEA camo.  The triangle of blonde hair is a separate decal to give the modeler the option of making this nose art more politically correct to satisfy wives and young kids that may be offended by the nose art.  See Cutting Edge decal sheet CED48179.  "Pussy Galore II" is painted in Green FS34102, Dark Green 34079 and Tan 30219 with Gray FS 36622 on the underside.

The second plane featured on this decal sheet in "Memphis Belle II".  This F-105D-25_RE was flown by Major Buddy Jones of the 357th TFS, 355th TFW out of Takhli, Thailand in 1968.  This particular jet is credited with 2 MiG kills and now resides in the USAF museum.  This plane bears a copy of the famous Memphis Belle B-17 noseart from WW2.

The decals were beautifully printed and the clear carrier film is trimmed close to the crisply printed colored areas.  These jets in SEA camo help to remind me of the jungle schemes that were employed in Vietnam.

The instructions are clear and easy to follow.  There is 5 pages of instructions in all......3 of them are to the right.  Instructions for decal application are also included in the text instruction sheet.

A very nice product and highly recommended.
