As is usual with Wolfpak, the decals are printed by Fantasy Printshop and are in perfect register. They cover only the individual aircraft markings, stars and bars, and a small selection of stencils.

The instructions are extensive, and cover history, colour details and weapon loads.

Another highly recommended, and highly useful, sheet.
