The decal sheet includes all the unique markings plus swastikas (where allowed by law) and there is a secondary sheet offering two sets of airframe stencils.
Verdict
These decals are beautifully printed in the Czech Republic, with perfect register and colour. All the options have been included in the Royal Class kit of the G-series but are offered here for those who missed it and want one or more of the options for use with the standard kits.
