The 15 pages of instructions are clear and
include colour multiply views of each aircraft. The decals are beautifully
printed Cartograf in Italy on 2 decal sheets.
I quite enjoyed
seeing the wide selection of decals in this decal sheet.....not only the many
different countries that are represented on this decal sheet but also all the
different paint schemes.......including the very colourful Japanese
Tracker. Caracal
Models is to be
commended for including so many different aircraft on this decal sheet and I
look forward to seeing more of their products in the future.
I would like to
thank Caracal
Models for
providing me with this review sample.
You can buy this
decal sheet direct from the Caracal
Models website.
