First Look
Here is the latest from Caracal, this set for the classic Hasegawa 1/48 Learjet 35 kit and provides markings for three USAF and three Air National Guard C-21A Lears.
The aircraft presented in this set include:
- C-21A, 84-0069, 81 TRW, Keesler AFB
- C-21A, 84-0135, 12 FTW, Randolph AFB
- C-21A, 84-0087, 76 AS, Ramstein AB
- C-21A, 86-0377, 200 AS, CO ANG
- C-21A, 84-0096, 118 AS, CT ANG
- C-21A, 84-0076, 177 AS, ND ANG
This set includes one complete set of airframe stencils and national markings. This set was printed by Microscale and it looks like my example has some print registration problems with the red and light blue which skew the red bars in the smaller national markings, the outstanding unit markings, the two sets of flags, as well as the blue/gold USAFE tailband. This is only on my example and the others from the printer should be fine.

My sincere thanks to Caracal Models for this review sample!
