Colour notes are supplied, along with model paint callouts for Xtracolor enamels and Xtracrylix acrylics.

The decals are beautifully printed and feature thin carrier film.

This release offers some nice alternative markings to create a customised Victor, whether you are using the Revell or the new Airfix kit.

Highly Recommended.
