Product Article by Ken Middleton on Jan 3 2012

 

This is Caracal Models first F-15C Eagle sheet, and it covers 2 Air National Guard units - the 142nd Fighter Wing from Portland, Oregon, and the 120th Fighter Wing from Great Falls, Montana. The 142nd FW has had very little F-15 decal coverage in the past though being long time Eagle operator, and the 120th FW, which has had Eagles for only a few years (and will be losing them in the near future), has had none. So this sheet is a welcome addition for the F-15 or Air National Guard fans.

The sheet is silk screen printed professionally by Cartograf in Italy, and has excellent color and coverage. Attention to detail is evident.

There are options for 4 jets (2 from each unit), and stencils for 2 jets:

  • F-15C 80-0010, 120FW, Montana ANG
  • F-15C 80-0048, 120FW, Montana ANG (commander's aircraft)
  • F-15C 84-0005, 142FW, Oregon ANG
  • F-15C 84-0031, 142FW, Oregon ANG (commander's aircraft)

In addition to 2 full sets of stencils, 2 different color styles of refueling-door markings are included, as well as various lighter grey panel decals which eliminates masking and painting those panel sections.

Overall, an excellent and accurate sheet that I will be using for sure in the future.

Thanks to Kursad at Caracal Models for the review sample.
