The instructions are straight
forward and also include 3 and usually 4 views of each aircraft on this decal sheet.
Plus there is text providing insight on weapons/fuel tank loadout postions etc.
The decals themselves are
flawlessly printed and very clearly printed on the 1/48 sample I have before me
and are contained on 1 decal sheet. Stencils are not included.
Colours look solid and should cover very well, but the decals appear thin and of
a very high quality.
There are black and white instruction
sheet give you all the info you need to build each of these jets. Hi-Decal
Line is famous
for the variety of countries featured on their decal sheets and this decal sheet
no exception to this tradition.
Colours are listed as FS#'s, Model Master and Humbrol.
