In the five markings included in the decal sheet, the kit includes two markings for Manfred von Richthofen, the famous Red Baron, including the popular all red aircraft, considered the ace-of-aces of the war with 80 credited wins before be killed in 21 April 1918 still in unclear circumstances of who exactly killed him, after he engaged in combat two Canadian Sopwith Camel.
