The decals are in-register, clear and are beautifully printed by Microscale. Some of the markings and badges are 2 piece decals, ensuring good registry. There are plenty of options and each aircraft's markings are separated on the sheet by a dashed-line to make it easier to differentiate them.

 

 

The color instruction sheet has 4-view drawings to assist in decal placement, and numerous notes point out tips on specific decals, including how to paint the Tucano propellors. A black and white paint scheme sheet is also included. Xtracolor and Xtracrylix paints are referenced along with British Standard numbers

This sheet retails for £6.95 / $11.49 and is available through:
