Instructions comprise a side view for each aircraft and small black-and-white views to show camouflage schemes. Normally, Wolfpak provide full information for each aircraft featured, but my sheet came from Fantasy Printshop and none of the additional information was provided. Unfortunately, this sheet is now out of production so it is impossible to obtain the missing instructions - black marks to Fantasy Printshop here!
Decals are in perfect register as always.
Another recommended sheet from Wolfpak!
