All aircraft are in the standard Mod Eagle scheme, comprising Dark Grey (FS36176) and Light Grey (FS36251).

Instructions follow the usual Caracal standard - in this case, 3 sides of full color A4. Each airframe has a single (left) side view, with scrap views being provided where necessary. Upper and lower camouflage scheme details are also included.

There are two decal sheets - the main sheet and an insert containing markings from the Massachusetts ANG  aircraft. As usual, the decals are printed by Cartograf and are in perfect register.

There have not been many decal sheets which feature ANG F-15s, so this sheet is highly recommended!
