The decals are
in-register, clear and are beautifully printed by Microscale. Many of the
markings and badges are 2 piece decals, ensuring good registry. There are
plenty of options with various paint schemes as well. Each aircraft's
markings are separated on the sheet by a dashed-line to make it easier to
differentiate them.
The color instruction sheet
has 4-view drawings to assist in decal placement, and numerous notes point
out tips on specific decals. Xtracolor and Xtracrylix paints are
referenced along with British Standard numbers
