This decal sheet is for a special colour bird CF-18 for the Canadian Air Force from 1993.  This particular plane is #716 from 433 Squadron. The decal sheet comes in 1/72 or 1/48 scale and includes all stencils and markings for one plane.  

There is two pages of black and white instruction sheets explaining where to place the decals and all the little points to watch out for when building a CF-18 in this paint scheme.  There is also a colour sheet showing side and top and bottom views of the plane as well as colour patches for each colour included on this plane's paint scheme.

In 1/48 scale (product #48029) there are 2 decal sheets to hold all the markings....in 1/72 (product #72029) there is one decal sheet due to the smaller scale.  The instructions are very complete and walk you through all the finer points of installing these unique decals.  Extra decals are even provided depending on whether the canopy is displayed open or closed.  The decal sheet is very complete and of the usual clearly printed high level of quality that Leading Edge Models is well known for.  This decal sheet is highly recommended.
