Instructions are on a single sided A4 sheet and provide a right side diagram of each aircraft, showing markings. Limited additional details are provied where relevant,
The decals themselves are matt and quite heavily drawn, but do provide some options not available elsewhere. However the white does not appear to be opaque and the register is not perfect.
