THE DECALS:
Fantasy Printshop is based in England.
This decal set each comes in a zip-locked clear cello envelope, with tissues to protect the decal faces from scratching.
There are two large sheets and one small one of the decal sheets.
The markings are for one “Typhoon” that was at the 2021 RAF Display. It is overall jet black, with light gray nose and exhaust cone. It has a red rudder with a large red, white and blue British AF roundel on it under a white and blue flash. On the sides of the fuselage there are British roundels with white bars. On the bars is black XXX. There is a white arrow down the sides of the fuselage and a red, white and blue flash under the cockpit. On top of the wings are more red, white and blue flashes.
One large decal sheet has the markings for wing tops and rudder sides etc.

The other large decal sheet has the markings for the bottom of the wings.
The small decal sheet has white rows of dashes and red and blue bars on it.
As already said, the decal sheets have tissues provided to protect them from scratches. However, these tissues are floating around loose, so I stapled them to the decals.
The cover art sheet shows color illustrations of the sides and top of the “Typhoon”.

A sheet printed on both sides in color has painting and marking instructions on its face side for the post and starboard sides of the fuselage. Colors are called out in the Humbrol paint brand.
The reverse side has painting and marking instructions for tops and bottoms of the wings.

This kit will be of great interest to modelers planning on building a “Typhoon” and to aviation enthusiasts alike.
