The 5 pages of instructions are
clear and include a color side view of each aircraft with additional views of
critical parts of the aircraft to help with decal placement. The decals are
beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet and one insert decal sheet.
The USN's battle in the Pacific
is full of stories of heros performing often what seems like impossible tasks to
ultimately win the day and secure peace in the Pacific. This decal sheet
captures 8 of the aircraft that helped make this possible with planes that were
at some of the critical battles in the PTO during WW2.
Research help for this decal
sheet was provided by Mark Tutton and Mike Lampros.

I would like to
