Here's a review of a new 1/48 sheet from Twobobs.  

Three aircraft are represented on this sheet.  Enough marking options for two complete jets.

  • F-14D CAG 163894 NE 100 May 2003 with mission markings 
  • F-14D "Go Navy" 163900 NE 104 Line Jet with mission markings 
  • F-14D "Beat Army" 164342 NE 106 Line Jet with mission markings

Recommended Kits:

  • Hasegawa F-14D (Decals are sized for this kit)
  • Revell F-14D

 

The decals are beautifully printed, and are clear and sharp. The white markings are nice and bright. Some of the markings are 2 piece decals, ensuring proper color and registration. There are 2 large decal sheets included. This release is a great value based on the 2 sheets, and size of the markings.

The "Last Tomcat Cruise" markings are a little hard to see on the instructions, and go over and under the skull's head on the tail for both versions.

The "GO NAVY" and "BEAT ARMY" markings were worn to commemorate the annual Army / Navy football game, and either jet can be built without the markings.

Special thanks are given to Patrick Baker, Dan McLain, Dave Brown (another long time and frequent Two Bobs contributor) and Brian Marbrey.

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!! 

Thanks to Two Bobs for the review sample.
