The 4 pages of instructions are
clear and include a single color profile of each aircraft. The decals
are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet with one tiny insert decal sheet.
It's wonderful to see so many aircraft from the Battle of Midway all on one
decals sheet.
I would like to
thank Starfighter
Decals for
providing me with this review sample.
