This could well be called 'the first and the last' for the George. This sheet includes markings for two planes. One of them is the initial prototype. This plane would be in overall orange with a black anti-glare panel.

The other option is for a post war plane as tested by the Technical Air Intelligence Unit, TAI or TAIU. This aircraft was left in standard Kawanishi Dark Green with unpainted undersurfaces with all of the insignia and yellow ID bands  roughly overpainted with Olive Drab. These aircraft (there were more than one) were also unarmed and usually flown by Japanese pilots .

The decals themselves are superbly printed and provide marking for both planes and data markings for one. This is also a kit sheet as it includes the instrument panel. Though designed for the Kopro/Aoshima kit, it should also work well for the Hasegawa George.
