Looked on-line for decal sheets with 1/72nd ejection seat warning decals, only found one. Fantasy Printshop sheet FP 814, available from the UK via ebay. Can any of you vouch for the company and the quality? It's one thing that I'm sure us whiffers run out of regularly, and I don't want to start buying kits just for those little things. Thanks!

Yes! I've got several of their sets and have used the Prototype 'P's, some of the warning symbols and quite a lot of the serial numbers/letters.

They're very good. They're thin, the carrier film borders are narrow and they react very fast: if you're nopt careful you'll find them floating off the paper.

Excellent! Hate waiting for decals to release.  :thumbsup:

What Weaver said, they're top quality manufacturers and you rarely see any out of register stuff from them, unlike others I could mention.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

They actually do a lot of the printing for commercial sets, so they are generally pretty good.
