The decals are clearly printed on one decal sheet in perfect registration with enough markings to build all the jets featured on this decal sheet.  The "Christmas Present" Draken includes red ribbons with gold stars that are very realistically printed with a lovely gold sheen.  There are 4 pages of instructions with 4 view profiles helping you with painting and decal placement.  Colours are called out in FS #'s, Humbrol, Tamiya, Gunze, Testors and Xtracolor.  

Special thanks goes out to Anders Nowotny, Max Nykvist, Ted Burnett and Sylvian Hautlier for their help on this decal sheet.  

The Draken is a beautiful jet and this decal sheets captures some excellent looking colourful paint schemes in single and 2 seater jets.  If you've always wanted to build a Draken, then this sheet will give you plenty of attractive options to choose from.
