A full set of airframe stencils is included and the second sheet includes various versions of the national insignia. Verdict These are beautifully printed in the Czech Republic, with perfect register and colour. They are nice and glossy with limited areas of carrier film and are thus highly recommended to all USAAF and P-38 modellers.
