The 3 pages of instructions are clear and include 2 to 4 color views of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 2 decal sheets and one smaller decal sheet.  The inclusion of the Spanish and Italian Harriers is a big bonus on this sheet and the Airshow Anniversary Harrier honoring Greg "Pappy" Boyington of WW2 has some great looking tailart.  You get enough stencils and formation lights to make one complete aircraft.  The selection of stencils is extensive which is always a big plus in 1/32 scale.

Special thanks goes out to Pier Paolo Maglio, R.Petagna, Fotios Rouch and Jose Miguel Rodriguez for their help in producing this decal sheet.

This is quite the decal sheet and I love the inclusion of the Spanish and Italian Harriers.

You can order this decal sheet from the Zotz Decals website see the contact link at the top of this page.

I would like to thank Zotz Decals for providing me with this review sample.
