President Ronald Reagan passed away on June 5 2004.  This F-15E fly as part of the missing man formation at his funeral services on June 11  2004. 

This sheet includes both 1/48 and 1/32 markings for this special F-15E.  There is an image of President Reagan's portrait on the left side of the nose including the words "One More for The Gipper"....(The Gipper was President Reagan's nickname).

Painting this scheme on your model is pretty straight forward as it is just the usual one colour F-15E grey scheme FS 361118.  

The decals are contained on 3 decal sheets and are flawlessly printed and in perfect register. 

The third sheet is a tiny sheet printed by Archer Fine Transfers of President Regan's portrait.  Many of the decals are multi-layer decals to ensure perfect registration and others have a white decal to place underneath to ensure underlying model colours don't bleed through.

 

The 2 pages of instructions include 4 view colour drawings showing decal placement.  Paint colours are listed in FS#'s as well as Humbrol, Testors, Gunze Sangyo and Xtracolor. 

A very pleasing decal sheet and sure to interest modellers that had an interest in the historic events during President Regan's 2 terms in office.  I'd like to thank Twobobs for the review sample.

This sheet is available through http://www.twobobs.net/ and select US Hobby Shops.  Overseas customers can purchase these from Twobobs site or through Twobobs network of overseas distributors.  Remember, shipping is always FREE to US Customers at Twobobs!!
