The instructions are straight
forward and also include 4 views of most aircraft on this decal sheet.
The decals themselves are
flawlessly and very clearly printed on the 1/72 samples I have before me
and are contained on 2 decal sheets. Stencils are not included.
Colours look solid and should cover very well, but the decals appear thin and of
a very high quality.
There are 12 pages of colour
instruction sheets which provide all the info you need on each aircraft.
You even get one page of text instructions devoted to the best technique to
installing these decals.
Model
Alliance is well known
for selection colourful subjects for their decal sheets and this is decal sheet
isno exception. Each aircraft has some sort of artwork from tail art to
squadron artwork. The variety of RAF jets is great to see and the Saudi
jet is icing on the cake and I'm pleased that the folks at Model
Alliance chose to
include it on this decal sheet.
