As is usual for Wolfpak, the instructions are a mixture of color and black and white. Side views (left hand only) are provided for each airframe, and color details are provided (with camouflage scheme 3 views where appropriate).
Wolfpak put a lot of effort into the supporting documentation and this is again evidenced through pages of information for each type, with details of usage, weapons loadouts and painting details.
The sheet is printed by Fantasy Printshop and is in register.
As usual, a highly recommended sheet!
