Dutch Decal sheet 72061 provides markings for eight different F-15A/Cs from the 32d TFS at Soesterberg AB. The airframes featured are:
- F-15A-19-MC 77-0100 during January 1994. It wore the standard F-15 Eagle scheme comprising Light Compass Ghost Grey FS36375 and Dark Compass Ghost Grey FS36320. All markings were removed apart from black serials on the tail, black stars'n' bars and the squadron badge on both sides of the intakes.
- F-15A-24-MC 79-0027 during 1988. This wore the standard F-15 Eagle scheme. It carried black "CR" tailcodes and serial numbers with orange fin bands. It also wore large black "WOLFHOUNDS" artwork on the left side of the nose.
- F-15C-32-MC 81-0046 (date unknown). This wore the standard F-15 Eagle scheme. It wore black "CR" tailcodes, with white shadows, "32 TFG" on the fin (also with white shadow) and the black "WOLFHOUNDS" nose art. It also carried "32 AMU" on the left upper aileron and "32 TFG" on the upper right aileron. It also wore orange fin bands.
- F-15A-20-MC 77-0132 during 1992. This wore the standard F-15 Eagle scheme and was marked identically to 81-0046 but without the markings on the ailerons.
- F-15A-19-MC 77-0100 during 1992. This wore the standard F-15 Eagle scheme and was marked similarly to 81-0046 but without the markings on the ailerons and with "32 FS" on the tail.
- F-15A-24-MC 79-0027 during 1992. This wore the standard F-15 Eagle scheme and was identical to its' earlier 1988 scheme but without the "WOLFHOUNDS" nose art.
- F-15C-24-MC 79-0031 during 1992. This wore the standard F-15 Eagle scheme and was identical to 79-0027 as above except for black tail bands outlined in orange.
- F-15A-20-MC 77-0124 during 1992. This wore the "Mod Eagle" scheme comprising Dark Grey FS36176 and Medium Grey FS36251. Markings were in contrasting greys, with Medium Grey "CR" tailcodes and serials and Dark grey stars'n'bars, with orange tail bands.
The instructions are provided on two greyscale A4 sheets which provide either a left or left-and-right side view of each aircraft, together with additional views showing the camouflage schemes.
The decals are on a half-A5-width sheet which provides all of the individual artwork and tailcodes and a set of numbers to enable the modeller to create serial numbers. They are in good register and appear suitable opaque.
This sheet is now long out of print, but recommended if you want a Wolfhounds F-15!
