The instructions are clear and include 4 views of each aircraft as well as all colours called out in FS#'s and extra modelling notes about the paint schemes.  The decals are beautifully printed on 3 decal sheets with formation lights.  Two complete set of stencils are included on this decal sheet as well as ejection seat decals.

The EA-6B Prowlers has never been known for wild camo schemes, but this sheet includes two jets that are very eye catching.

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