--------------------

Here's the 3rd decal sheet in this series that focuses on the Japanese Aggressors F-15DJ Nyutabaru JASDF.   This sheet features aircraft # 92-8095 in a very stylish, light-blue lightning bolt pattern as one option and a light-blue camo pattern as the second option.  The same set of stencils apply for either version.  You get enough markings for one complete aircraft with options for a second F-15DJ from the JASDF at Nyutabaru AB.  This includes decals for the entire scheme to include all stencil data are included on two full sheets.  These colorful aircraft were painted in this fashion to support the aggressor role for the JASDF.  

An accurate F-15DJ can be built using the older Hasegawa and Academy Strike Eagle kits which were more representative of a D model Eagle.  Leave the conformal fuel tanks off the aircraft and voila, you have a DJ model eagle!

JASDF Aggressor schemes are some of the most colorful schemes that you’ll ever see adorn a modern military aircraft.  The Japanese truly outdo themselves whenever they decide to pull a jet into the paint barn and this sheet as well as the other two sister sheets are no exception.  

 

Of the three sheets I must confess this one really has my total attention.  The two paint schemes have the  classic Japanese Aggressor look to them.  The hardest part would be picking which one to build.

The full color instruction sheet features a full-color placement guide.  There are no photo references on this sheet.  Twobobs has excluded photos before on other sheets when the copyright holder of the photographs could not be contacted.  

All of Twobobs decals are printed by Microscale and feature very thin carrier film and accurate color representation.  

These three sheets feature some VERY colorful schemes for the F-15DJ and Twobobs has captured these in all their glory.  I’m sure these will prove to be very popular...get 'em while you can as I'm sure they will sell out quickly.

I'll do a full review when a review sample become available.

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!!
