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 Egyptian and Portuguese as well as an Irish Air Corps Lysanders.  The Egyptian markings are for a Lysander I, Y513 No. 1 Army Co-op Squadron, Royal Egyptian AF in 1940.  The Portuguese markings are for a Lysander IIIA, 361 Grupo de Reconhecimento e Informacao of the Portuguese AF in 1943.  The Irish Air Corps markings are for a Lysander II, No.66, 1 Fighter Squadron in the Irish Air Corps in 1942.

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