Austro-Hungarian schemes were often very unique, especially in terms of overall finish, and a few of these aircraft had their flying surfaces overpainted in yellow "squiggles"; Print Scale includes these as a separate decal to be applied after painting the model. All decals appear to be in register and are to the usual high standards Print Scale is known for.
Kit-wise, the best bets are the Roden kits for both the 53., 153. and 253 series aircraft.
I definitely send my thanks to Print Scale for allowing me to review this sheet.
