My 2012 13" MBA i5/8GB/256GB SSD will be arriving to my house in a couple of days. I have a few questions regarding Windows 7 and the Bootcamp drivers.
1. Can I use the Windows 7 ISO image that I downloaded to install Windows 7? even though I have the actual full version with the discs and product keycode.
2. Can I use 2 USB flash drives; one for the bootcamp drivers and one for Windows 7?
3. What are the recommended sizes of USB flash drives for bootcamp drivers and Windows 7?

1. Yes so long as its the one for your product key code.
2. You can but I don't see a point to this as Bootcamp is able to prepare your USB with the Win7 ISO and the bootcamp drivers in a separate folder.
3. Slight less than 4GB so a 4GB stick will be enough
