The instructions are clear and include multiply views of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet and 6 insert decal sheets and include drop tank decals and landing gear and helmet and flight suit patch decals.  Plus you get 2 sets of formation lights and a set of data markings. The quality of the decals is first rate. 

If your a fan of the F-14 then you've got to have this decal sheet so you can build yourself a Grim Reapers Tomcat.
