First off...the decals quality is
first rate
These are very thin
and clearly and crisply printed decals. To avoid problems with the more
complicated decals....some decals were printed as 2 decals that will be
layered on the model to achieve one decal and avoid register problems.
Artwork is quite varied and
nice selection of artwork. Planes included in this decal
package are....
