Remarks: There is something wrong with this Carpena sheet. Above is a list of the decal options according to the instruction sheet. But this is totally incorrect. The Belgian, Russian and French Seafire option ore not on the decal sheet, instead there is a option for a South African spitfire on the sheet which isn t on the instructions.
About the instruction sheet itself, it is in black/white, not 100% clear sometimes, but all paint numbers are given in FS. So it must be easy to convert it to your favorite brand. Text is in French and English. The Decal sheet is nice, in register, but the colors aren t OK the blue of the Swedish and French insignia is much to dark, and I have my doubts about some squadron codes.
If you want to build a spitfire using this decal sheet I advise you to do some good research!
