The 7 pages of instructions include 3 view colour profiles of each jet with camo schemes.  Some info is included for some of the MiG-29s on this decal sheet.  Colours are called out in AKAN paint #'s.

The decals are beautifully printed and in perfect register and it is worth noting some jets on this sheet include artwork or a sharks mouth etc.

Linden Hill Decals are the experts when it comes to markings for Soviet built aircraft and this decal sheet is another in a long line of top quality decals from Linden Hill Decals.  This sheet includes some very interesting camo schemes for the 1/48 MiG-29 and I was quite interested to see the Eritrean Air Force MiG-29 included on this decal sheet.

I would like to thank Linden Hill Decals for providing me with this product sample.  You can buy this decal sheet directly from the Linden Hill Imports website.
