The 2 pages of instructions are
clear and include 1 colour view of each aircraft. The decals are
beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet by Cartograf. I'm impressed by the
wide variety of paint schemes on these 6 fighters....all flown by Aces.
Italian camo during WW2 is some of the most interesting there was and this
sheets feature an excellent variety of paint schemes that is sure to be of big
interest to anyone wanting to build a WW2 Italian fighter.
