As usual, the sheet is well printed with everything in register, the decal film itself is thin and there is very little overlap of film. Instructions follow the usual standard for Wolfpak, with a front sheet containing colour side views of each airframe, black and white camouflages schemes, and several pages of additional reference and colour details for modellers.
