MARK I Decals. These decal sheets, with national insignia, tri-colour stripes and serial numbers are in general prepared to represent the original markngs in 1:144th scale, but due to their generic nature they can also be used for kits in other scales (1:72, 1:87 etc.).

The former sets contain various details to improve or refine basic plastic models (e.g., external stores, vacu canopies, seats), the latter ones include pasteboard cards depicting various actual surfaces of military airfields.
