The markings included in the set correspond to vehicles from one of the most important and recognizable theaters of WWII—the desert campaign of North Africa. Despite inferior armament and armor compared to enemy vehicles, Panzer II tanks played a key role in the early period of the German Afrika Korps offensive under General Erwin Rommel, especially during battles such as Tobruk and Gazala.

The set contains precise decals for several historical vehicles from various units, along with detailed placement diagrams, making it easier for modelers to recreate actual tanks from the desert campaign. The decals are characterized by excellent print quality, vivid colors, and accurate detail reproduction even at a small scale.
