Instructions comprise a left side view showing markings for each aircraft, with a right side scrap view of the cockpit area. Small camouflage scheme drawings are also provided.
The decals are printed with minimal clear coat and are extremely thin.
This sheet has been out of production for many years, but provides some interesting markings.
