Things I've noted about contents of the kit, at a first glance:

Modeler gets both, the 5-color and 4 color lozenge decal sheets with appropriate lozenge ribtapes (or CDL) - this is a big thing, in terms of value to one's scrap box

At least one scheme uses mix of 4 and 5 color lozenge - something of a personal favorite of mine
