The instruction sheets are well laid out and easy to follow.  The water slide decal sheets are of the highest quality and very clearly printed.  The painting masks are a nice addition that will be a big help.

WOW....this is one very big sheet that gives such a varied selection of decals for many different schemes that is sure to please any modeler wanting to add a CF-104 to his display case.  

This decal sheet is also available in 1/32 scale. 

I would like to thank Canuck Model Products for providing me with this product sample.
