England. This sheet includes 5 different F-5E and you get enough
markings to build all 5 aircraft.

Bob has included the full history
of this very special squadron along with numerous photos of the jets featured on
this decal sheet. I was particular impressed by the Green/Brown/Tan jets
on this sheet with their wild Aggressor paint schemes.....the grey jets are
nice.....but the Green/Brown/Tan F-5E jets just beg to be built.
This sheet is available through http://www.twobobs.net/

Twobobs site or through Twobobs network of overseas distributors.
