Again there are three separate sheets, one with the grey codes, one with roundels, fin flashes and red serial numbers, the final one with black serial numbers and any unique markings, artwork etc.
Conclusion
The decals are superb, perfect print and colour and nice and glossy with very little carrier; it just makes you want to go and build all the options! This is therefore highly recommended to anyone with one or more of the new Airfix kits to build.
