Falcon Eggs
Runner up of today is the second F-16 egg of 2 decal sheets produced by TwoBobs Aviation Graphics.
EP-002 "F-16 AF Falcon Eggs". Specially made for the Hasegawa F-16 Egg kits.
It also comes in a zip bag and contains 1 decal sheet and a 4 page instruction sheet.
Let's have a look at these decals.
Proudly printed by Microscale Industries on a light blue backing sheet.
The colours are spot on, even the white decals, and all nice in register. Even the smallest ones are quite readable.
This sheet offers 15 markings.
These are:
- General Dynamics F-16C Block 25 83-1119 "AF83119 HOW'S MY DRIVING?" (*)

The option marked with (*) has never really been worn by any aircraft. They were digitally inserted onto the vertical stabilizers for an Air Force recruiting commercial.
The instruction sheet is again printed in full colour. It provides a clear view on where to put the decals by showing both port and starboard side of the aircraft. For the Edwards based aircaft, a top and bottom view is also provided.
TwoBobs provides for each scheme a colour call out by providing the FS colour numbers and the catalogue number of 4 different paint brands, being Testors, Humbrol, Gunze Sangyo and Xtracrylics.
For me, this sheet is also a must-have for any F-16 egg lovers. Although you won't be able to reproduce all 15 options with just 1 sheets, you still will be able to do 3.
They are still available at TwoBobs for $ 9,00, so get them before they are gone!

(PS: the scans will be replaced whenever I get a new and better scanner)
