Instructions are not provided with the decals, and are intended to be downloaded (in PDF format) from the Fündekals website. They compose five sides of A4 with left and right side views of each airframe, a color key and a summary for each airframe.

The decal sheet provides only the main markings but is in perfect register. Another recommended sheet for the Meng kit.
