Zotz Decals 1/48 Belgian F-16 81st Anniversary of 1st Sqd. |
|
Also available in 1/32 and 1/72 product # 48-003, 72-003, 32-003 Review by Steve Bamford on Feb 3 2004 |
--------------------

This is the third decal sheet from Zotz Decals and features a Sword Wielding Warrior scheme Belgian F-16. The decal sheet is contained on 2 separate decal sheets and contains all the unique markings of this special colour scheme Viper. Stencils are not included in this decal sheet, but purchase information is included on the instruction sheet about how you can purchase stencil decals from Daco Decals. |

| So....what do you get? Well for one thing you get some beautifully done decals. Eli Raphael at Zotz decals has done a beautiful job replicating the artwork on this one. The artwork on both sides of the tail is very delicately done with flawless shading....just like the real aircraft. Usually decals have difficulty doing photographic style gently shaded artwork....cartoon artwork is easy.....but artwork like this is very tricky to do. But Eli has gone and done an outstanding job on these. The decals themselves appear to be regular silk screened decals with a very thin border of clear decal material around the perimeter of the decal artwork. Additional yellow text decals are included to go over the tail fin decals. |

The 3 pages of instructions are clear enough
to follow and should prove no problem and include FS #'s to aid in
painting as well as excellent drawings about stencil placements etc.
This is an interesting decal sheet with
stunning artwork and is highly recommended for all Belgian and F-16 fans
and anyone interested in colourful schemes.
