The 12 pages of instructions are clear and include 1 color side view of each aircraft and a general 4 view to show the correct camo layout.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 regular sized sheet and one small insert decal sheet.  Serial numbers are all single digit numbers so you can mix and match to create the jet you want.  It appears you get enough stencils for 2 jets.  The big question is which 2 jets are you going to choose to build?  By the way.....quite a few of these jets have kill markings.

This is quite the comprehensive decal sheet that is well laid out and provides you with a very pleasing selection of Israeli F-16A/B Netz jets.  I love the Israeli camo schemes.
