We have two new sets of decals out:

Enjoy!

Sgts Mess: please check your site's webmail, I have been trying to get an answer from you.

They both look like white numbers on either a grey or sand coloured background. Is that right?

And then I thought perhaps they are supposed to be white numbers and that the coloured background is meant to match the colour you have painted your tank. But then the colour I painted my tank would have to perfectly match the colour of your decal otherwise it would look awful.

Have I got any of this right because I am in the market for numbers for my tanks and SPWs?

RobH – Many apologies about that – please could you send the message again; it doesn't appear to have reached us for which I apologise.

Deephorse – Yes, quite right about the colours of them. The tank paint would have to match the decal colours.

OK Sgt's Mess, is there a specific paint pot that matches your decals or do I have to experiment?

So what scale are these? Nothing is mentioned in your post.

Fantastic! I can use these for both my WW2 German Panzers and various and sundry sci fi subjects, from antigravity tanks to starship hull numbers… evil grin

They are 1/72nd and I'm told they are standard German yellow and standard German grey.
Use them for whatever you like! Any use is good!
