DXM Decals DXMD48007: KLu 311 Sq F-16AM

Here is another excellent special scheme sheet from DXM Decals. This one is for the 60th Anniversary of the Dutch Air Force's 311 Sq. In line with other Dutch special schemes, this one has a black canopy surround as well as a black and blue fin. The lower section of the fin is black with the rest being bright blue.

DXM includes not only the special markings, but also a full stencil suite. There is a second set of eagle fin markings as the ones on the main sheet missed the eye detail. The decals are superbly printed and glossy. The instructions are in full color and provide a four view of the camouflage and markings placement. Paint information is provided in Gunze, Humbrol and FS 595 references. It seems the Dutch are still using the three color grey scheme so keep that in mind. I am not positive as to who does this kit, though perhaps A Hasegawa special boxing would be what is needed. Perhaps Kinetic does one.  As with the previous commemorative F-16 sheet, there is a small color plate included.
