Here's a new release from Twobobs and is designed for the new 1/48 Twobobs T-2C Buckeye kit.  This sheet features three different aircraft with enough stencils for one. VT-19, VT-23 and VT-26 are all included on this sheet.  Each of these jets is in the brightly colored white and orange paint scheme.  The 3 jets include the following:

  • T-2C Buckeye # 501 BuNo 159165 with VT-19 Attack Frogs at NAS Meridian around 1975.  This jet has green stripes on the side of the rear fuselage.
