The instructions are
straight forward and also include painting
instructions for the interior which is helpful. You also get lists
of recommended kit and aftermarket items to help you build the best Jaguar
you can.
The decals
themselves are flawlessly printed and very clearly printed on the 1/48 samples I have before me. Colours look solid and should cover very well, but
the decals appear thin and of a very high quality.
Artwork includes leopards, wild
boars, raging bulls, sharks, and various squadron crest etc to add colour
to your finished model.
There are 12 pages of instruction
sheets with 4 view colour drawings of 10 of the aircraft (the rest of the
planes are nmore of less duplicate paint schemes with the other aircraft
covered in the instructions). This is a fine
decal sheet and a welcome treat for people interested in building the
classic Sepecat Jaguar.
You can order these decals direct
from aviation-workshop@btconnect.com
Contact them for prices and ordering information.
Special thanks to Model Alliance for sending me this review
sample. You can purchase these decals direct from the Model Alliance
website.
