I believe that this is the first time that we've had markings for post-war French Sherman tanks available in this scale. This is a superb set for anyone with an interest in French Indochina in the 1950s. It includes complete markings for five specific Sherman tanks, plus five alternative sets of names and serial numbers, so up to ten tanks. The colors are bright, the decal film looks to be relatively thin, and I see no registration issues at all.
