Narrative:
Eco (new insulation mexmil) was installed on aircraft X, Y, and Z, and possibly other aircraft. The kits that came are assembled from other company amt's with supposedly proper prints in the boxes of insulation. They came with print a, and I was told by many people, ie, supervisors and crews from the build-up this is what I needed, but I have found they should have used print B.
