Iliad Designs is a producer of decals, colour charts and books from Canada's capital city Ottawa. This sheet sees them bring us a choice of decals for the new Trumpeter F-106B kit. The first time we have had the B model available in kit form.  There are 5 markings for 4 aircraft as 72535 is shown in markings for the Californian ANG, and later when it was used in the flight test programme for the Rockwell B-1. The options are

 

• 72514 from the 27th FIS, Loring AFB, Maine 1969.  
• 72535 used during the flight testing programme for the B-1
• 72513 also used during the flight testing programme for the B-1
• 72529 from 539th FIS, McGuire AFB, New Jersey, 1961
• 72535 from the California Air National Guard. This features the State Bear on the tail.

 

 

Aside from being an interesting collection of schemes, the decals themselves look to be of very good quality. The printing is crisp and sharp, while colours are bold and solid. They look thin and glossy on the sheet, so they should perform well.  A smaller correction sheet is included for the 27th FIS one due to a printing error with the main sheet. 

 

 

Conclusion

This interesting sheet is nicely printed. If you have the new Trumpeter kit then this sheet will enable you to produce a different aircraft. . Highly recommended.
