This a 1/32 decal sheet for the 1/32 Testors/Italeri/Hawk Lysander kit as well as the new Lysander kit from Gavia.  The printing of the decals is very crisp and clear....very good printing quality and in perfect register.  The colours look excellent.  The decals appear quite thin, so they should conform well to the surface of the model.  The instructions also warn that the modeller should be careful using any decal setting solutions with these decals as not decal setting solutions have been tested on these decals.  My advice would be to apply the decals to the gloss finish of the model and see if any decal setting solution is even required.  If decal setting solution is required, then please experiment on a  spare piece of decal from this sheet to make sure the solution is not too strong for these decals.  Caution is always the best approach.  Included on this 1/32 decal sheet are markings for an American, british and Turkish Lysanders.  The British markings are for a Lysander TT III, T1445, K-W6-K, No. 755 Squadron, FAA in 1941-42.  The American markings are for a Lysander TT III, V9817, 3 Gunnery and Tow Target Flt. of the 8th AF, in March 1944.  The Turkish markings are for a Lysander II, 3106 of the Turkish Airforce in 1939.

  As a side note....these markings are also available in 1/48 from Max Decals.
