The 8 page instruction booklet is includes color profiles to help you get an idea of the various camo patterns.  At best you get 2 side views showing the camo patterns.........some planes only have one color sideview drawing, so this leaves plenty of guess work.  There are a variety of black and white photos in the instruction booklet, but you will need to do some additional research to figure out the whole camo patterns.  Some of the planes do feature tailart and/or noseart and/or stripes.  The decals are of course flawless and in perfect register.

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