The 2 pages of instructions are
clear and include 1 black and white view of each aircraft. The decals are
beautifully printed on 2 decal sheets by Cartograf. There's no doubt about
it.......the Italian aircraft during WW2 had a great variety of camo pattern and
many in desert camo which always look great, so this sheet is sure to be popular
with Italian Aircraft modellers. The pilots featured in this decal sheet
were all Aces
