The 8 pages instruction booklet is clear and includes 1 small color photo of each aircraft.  You also get 4 view color profiles (top, bottom, left side and right side) showing decal placement and camo patter layout.  You also get a large 2 sided poster showing stencil placement (including weapons pylons and drop tank stencils).  The Israeli F-15's are usually loaded with stencils, so showing them in a blown up line drawing on a  poster is an excellent idea.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheets and 2 insert decal sheets. 

All in all this is a very well done decal sheet.  Everything you need as far as info and decals is included and you have a large variety of aircraft to choose from from a variety of Squadrons.  If you're building one of the lo-viz Israeli F-15's in 1/72, then this is the decal sheet you want to use.
