The instructions are clear and include 4 views of each camo scheme to assist in painting and decal placement and 4 view line drawings to assist in stencil placement.  The decals are beautifully printed on 2 decal sheets.  Three complete set of stencils are included on this decal sheet.

If you like IAF aircraft and want to add a Kfir to your display case, then this is the sheet to get.....the hard part will be deciding which of the 18 aircraft to build.

I would like to thank IsraDecal for providing me with this review sample.
