The decals themselves are flawlessly printed and very clearly printed on the 1/72 sample I have before me and are contained on 2 decal sheets.  Colours look solid and should cover very well, but the decals appear thin and of a very high quality.   

The RAF Nimrod is not a common subject with decal makers, so it is much appreciated that Model Alliance has filled this void with this decal sheet.  

You can order these decals direct from aviation-workshop@btconnect.com   Contact them for prices and ordering information.
