This decal sheet offers a very good selection of A-7's from the end of it's career.

The instructions are beautifully printed in glossy full colour with numbered arrows showing which decals go where.  Each aircraft is shown from one angle and there is generic colour drawings showing top and bottom views of the A-7 which will assist in camo layout and decal placement for national insignia etc.  

The decals print by Cartograf come on 1 decal sheet on the 1/72 sample before me.  They are clearly and crisply printed and appear to be of the highest quality.  Each aircraft has some sort of tailart, no sexy pin ups.....but interesting none the less.  You get 2 sets of stencils.

This is a very well done decal sheet with good variety and well worth purchasing.
