The instructions are clear and include multiply views of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet with 5 insert decal sheets and includes landing gear, ejection seat and helmet decals.  Plus 2 sets of formation lights and a set of data markings. The quality of the decals is first rate. 

A very complete decal sheet with plenty of extras to help you make your F-18F stand out.
