Responsibility details are not available.
This Star Decals set keeps to one narrow theme: British markings for Sherman tanks in the North African campaign, specifically early production machines in Egypt in 1942. The year 1942 is the turning point for this type, because that is when it first appeared in combat on the British side. The item is an accessory to a finished model in 1:35 scale.
The British renamed American tanks under a system of their own, and the Mk III designation belonged to the version with two diesel engines, that is the American M4A2. Early production examples can be told by details of the hull and the turret, which changed during production, so a match between the markings and a particular production state matters for a credible model. In Egypt the tanks were given desert finishes and carried tactical numbers, formation signs and vehicle names, which is the most interesting part of a vehicle's fit for a modeler.
Desert finishes tend to be light and matte, so even a slight sheen gives the edge of a decal away. Polish the area under the markings, seat the decal and once it has dried flatten it down together with its surroundings. On the Sherman the turret sides and the front of the hull are the places to use, where there is plenty of room. Add sun-faded paint and fine dust only over finished markings, so that the transitions look natural.
The model, the paints and the varnishes are not supplied with the decals.
