The 2 pages of instructions are clear and include 1 and sometimes 2 color side views of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet.  Some of the aircraft on this decal sheet have a very high number of mission markings painted on their fuselage.  The paint scheme for all 5 aircraft is Olive drab over Neutral Gray. 

Zotz Decals is been well known for releasing decal sheets with noseart including sexy noseart and this decal sheet continues this much loved tradition.  This is a very pleasing decal sheet and the hardest choice you will have to make is which one of these historic aircraft to build first.
