This sheet from LF Models is for a pair of Czech Su-7 Fitters. I bought this rather small sheet as I'm fiddling around with a Fitter and the kit decals are well past the 'use by' date. Plus it was one of the few non Soviet sheet that I found during a web search.
It covers a pair of aircraft that are pretty much the same in terms of markings. Both are overall unpainted metal with darker metal areas, mostly in front of the gun muzzles. These are from the 1964-67 time frame. One has what appears to be a unit badge on the nose while the other has a pair of red stars on either side of the upper fin. Both have black anti-glare panels on the nose with one being longer than the other. The second option also has large black wing walk areas on the inboard portion of the wing. Otherwise they are both rather unremarkable in terms of markings.
Like their other sheets I have from LF Models, the instructions tell me to cut out each individual marking and be careful not to scratch it. This tells me it is an ALPS printed sheet as those are somewhat fragile and scratch quite easily. It may also explain the rather high price for what is admittedly a pretty small decal sheet. However, the benefit of sheets like this is that you build the option you want and don't have to worry too much about a lot of left over markings.
