This is the second 86 FBG sheet from Aeromaster and covers the three individual squadrons. Guess they decided 'why not' and so have done this very comprehensive sheet. As you can see, there are lots of markings but only one plane can be done from the two sheets. Due to the huge number of decals, you'll have to use the insignia from the kit or get some aftermarket ones. As with the previous sheet, you'll have to paint the tail section white prior to adding the checks and make sure that the horizontal stabs are attached last. For the tip tanks, those will have to be painted in the appropriate colors prior to adding the checks. Squadron colors are basically in the tip tanks, nose checks and tail bumper.

First on the sheet is the 525th FBS. For this one, the tip tanks will have to be painted blue to match the nose decal.

Next is, logically, the 526th FBS. Red is its main color so again, the tip tanks will have to be painted to match. This is the squadron C.O.s plane as noted by the fuselage stripes.

The 527th is the final one on the sheet. The tanks will need a coat of yellow before applying the black decals. You'll also note that this plane has the non-braced canopy, whereas the others have been retrofitted with the reinforced one. The speed brake for all three is the slotted version.

Common markings need to come from the kit decals, but that is not a problem as they are quite acceptable and should provide no problems. There is an extensive application guide for the tip tank decals so that should be no real concern.
