The 13 aircraft include 12 Russian Hurricanes and one lone British machine.  Camo schemes vary from the standard brown/green RAF camo to a 3 tone grey with patches of white.  And as most of these are Russian machines....you get a variety of sizes of Red Stars that were painted over the British roundels as well as some Patriot slograns and even a few machines with very big and bold tail art of various animals.

The instructions are clear and include 1 or 2 views of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 2 decal sheets.  

The Russian Hurricanes are a story that don't usually get many pages in the history book s, but it is excellent to see this decal sheet that covers 13 of the better looking Soviet Hurricanes from WW2.
