The 9 pages of instructions include 3 view colour profiles of each aircraft with camo schemes.  Some further info is included for some of the aircraft on this decal sheet.  The decals are printed on 2 decal sheets to a very high standard.  

The G.222s & C-27A are attractive transport aircraft and remind me very much of a smaller 2 engined version of the C-130 Hercules and Linden Hill Decals has done a wonderful job of capturing a pleasing variety of aircraft and camo schemes on this decal sheet.  The variety of countries on this decal sheet is truly impressive.

I would like to thank Linden Hill Decals for providing me with this product sample.  You can buy this decal sheet directly from the Linden Hill Imports website.
