The decals
themselves are flawlessly printed and very clearly printed on the 1/72
sample I have before me. Colours look solid and will cover very well, but
the decals appear thin and of a very high quality. Some decals are
multi part to ensure perfect registration.
There are 4 pages of instruction
sheets with a side profile of each aircraft. The paint schemes are
straight forward on most of them but 3 of the planes will require basic
knowledge of Spitfire camo layout when painting the 3 Spitfires with
multi-coloured camo schemes on this decal sheet.
The instruction sheets do
include a comprehensive list of Spitfire conversions available.
You can order these decals direct
from aviation-workshop@btconnect.com
Contact them for prices and ordering information.
