Evil Eyes CH-46s?
Posted by dmk on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 12:21 PM

 Does anybody know what squadron has these markings, and can I get a set of decals of them for my Academy 1/48 CH-46E?

 Edited, to add that I found the squadron:

 Surely, there has to be a decal set for these guys.

Nice timing -- you're in luck. MAW Decals will be releasing a sheet of 1/48 Phrog decals shortly. HMM-163 is one of the squadrons profiled, and the hi-vis eyes look like they made it onto the decal sheet:

How awesome is that!

 Thanks for the link Andy. I just pre-ordered that "Battle Phrogs" set. Looks like I'll be bumping this kit up in the queue for a possible New Years build. Cool [8D]
