The
instructions are beautifully printed in glossy full colour with numbered
arrows showing which decals go where. Each aircraft is shown from
one angle and there is generic colour drawings showing top and
bottom views of one of the aircraft which will assist in camo layout
and decal placement for national insignia etc. Also included is
colour samples on the instruction sheets to help the less informed
modellers figure out the various FS colours.
There are
3 camo schemes included on this decal sheet;
The
decals print by Cartograf come on 2 decal sheets
on the 1/72 sample before me. They are clearly and crisply printed
and appear to be of the highest quality.
It's refreshing to see some
decals for the many different ANG's
Steve
I would like
to thank AirDOC

review sample.
AirDOC
also has a large selection of aircraft reference books covering modern and
vintage aircraft as well as decals covering vintage and modern aircraft.
