US Air-to-Air Missile Markings in 1/32nd Scale AIM-7E-2/M Sparrow 32-0

Twobobs Aviation Graphics has released a comprehensive set of missile markings in 1/32nd scale for the AIM-7 Sparrow. A review of their previously released markings for the their AIM-9 Sidewinder can be found here.

The instructions include profile views of the AIM-7E and AIM-7M Sparrow. Each view depicts the missile, as it is rotated one-quarter turn. This feature clearly identifies the proper placement for each decal. No painting instructions or thumbnail photos are included. A brief history lesson is provided for each missile explaining their technical features and upgrades as well as comments about its effectiveness in combat.

The decals are printed in perfect register. Each sheets includes the required stencils to allow the modeler to build four AIM-7E-2 and four AIM-7M missiles. The carrier film is virtually invisible. As an added bonus, AN/ALE-39 and 47 dispensers are also included on the decal sheet, though no mention of this is made with the instructions.
