Wow....I think
I identified them all. This is one highly complete set. The masks
peel off the backing very easily and they look thick enough to avoid problems
with folding over on themselves etc but they are thin enough to be very easy to work with.

The 2 pages of instructions are clear and
are done in the classic
Leading
Edge Models style,
well laid out and simple to follow after about a minute of study. This set
of masks raises the bar to a whole new level for other companies to follow.
This set will also available in
1/48 and 1/72 in the coming weeks.
