Afterburner Decals
Wing Kings #1
Sheet Number: 48-004
Reviewed by  Dave Morrissette, IPMS# 33653
MSRP: $15.00

The first question that comes to mind is "what's a Wing King?".

In Afterburner Decals new release, that's the first thing answered. Wing King is the term given to the select few who are chosen to command the various wings of the US Air Force. In this case the Kings are all flying F-16's.

The decals included have 2 options for the 20th Fighter Wing - one in Saudi Arabia and the other at Shaw AFB. Also included are two options for the 27th Fighter Wing based at Cannon AFB in New Mexico. Last, there are markings for the 56th Fighter Wing based at Luke AFB. Each marking is for the appropriate Wing King.

Decals are included for all options as well as stencils for two aircraft. Instructions are excellently detailed and contain a black and white information/stencil sheet explaining which "block" of F-16 was flown by which Fighter Wing and all the differences between the blocks. A complete ordnance diagram for the armed versions is also included and a handy set of modeling notes detailing kits and aftermarket.

Also included a full color sheet with side view drawings of each fighter with the necessary notes and placement of the decals. The flip side is a color painting guide with FS call outs for all colors.

The decals are printed perfectly and have white two part decals for the colorful badges and parts. Separate small near photo quality decals are included for nose art and other badges. Samples of the instructions and the decals are pictured (not all!)

I highly recommend this set to all fans of the F-16. Quality and research are both superb and you can now get your own Wing King just by using this set.
