Both sets offers three versions, a Iraqi famous during the Gulf war, other Russian representing a deployed in Afghanistan, which has his stars missions marks, and the latest and more colorful "Zabi" version.
This decal has all basic white stencils, for the "Zabi" version, plus a yellow set for the rest.
From the point of view of the quality the sheet is good, with a precise printing and good registry. The paper support is white (it was modified for the image shown), this is perhaps the weak point, because will demand modelers a greater effort to cut the small legends a other details, which were printed in white.

The film shows a shinny finished, which is very convenient when you have to apply and coat the decals. This film is slightly thick, but not too much to represent a problem. The manufacturer says that this, is to avoid breaking decals when you retire them from the paper support.
We have done several tests with different decal sets, the result was good, the decals response, is slower than normal, but finally they copy very well the surface where we apply them.
Placing instructions are provided with black and white draws, but the manufacturer promises to improve this in future.
