Max Decals has outdone themselves on this sheet.  There is 1 decal sheets to cover all the markings and the decals are grouped for each aircraft to make finding them much easier.  There are plenty of national markings, so you will be able to amass quite the collection of Irish Air Corps aircraft for your display case.  The instruction sheets are very good about showing your 4 view profiles to show you the layout of the camo and/or paint scheme.  

I applaud Max Decals for pulling together all these many Irish aircraft together onto one decals sheet and the inclusion of the ten 1/35 ground vehicles is a HUGE bonus.

You can buy this sheet direct from the Max Decals website.

I'd like to thank Max Decals for the product sample.
