As usual for Two Bobs, The sheet is well printed with everything in register, the decal film itself is thin and there is very little overlap of film. Two Bobs have printed all of the various badges as a grey backing and a color overlay. An insert provides an additional set of wing walks and markings, and the nose art is also printed on a separate sheet.
The instructions are printed in color and comprise a left hand view for each airframe, together with upper surface diagrams, color details and additional references.
