For each airframe WolfPak include a side view with details of where individual markings are placed, copies of the relevant page of TO 1-1-4, and additional photographs where relevant. These are black and white photocopies, with the side views in colour.

Additionally, for each airframe, WolfPak provide a history of the aircraft with additional details of markings and specific colours (with FS595a references).  Details of weapons loadouts are also provided.

This is a really useful sheet as it provides low-vis markings in FS36118 and FS36293
