The decals were flawlessly printed and in perfect registration and the clear carrier film is trimmed very close to the crisply printed colored areas.  

The instructions are clear and include colour drawings to assist in decal placement as well as having the specific colours listed to aid in the painting process.  There are 1 page of text including information about one of the  aircraft.

A very nice decal sheet and will be helpful for anyone building the big new He-162.

I would like to thank Cutting Edge Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
