The instructions are clear and include 3 views of each camo scheme to assist in painting and decal placement and 2 view line drawings to assist in stencil placement.  The decals are beautifully printed on 2 decal sheets.  Three complete set of stencils are included on this decal sheet.

This is a special sheet that gives you 18 aircraft to build from these 3 air forces in a  fascinating variety of camo schemes.

I would like to thank IsraDecal for providing me with this review sample.
