Hi all,
3-4 years ago I was working with Warbird Decals on a set of PT Boat Squadron decals in 1/72 scale. I thought this project was dead as they were having troubles because of the complexity of the printing. Yesterday, Bill Smallshaw advised that they are now for sale on eBay. I jumped on a set for myself but there are more available. I've reached out to Warbird Hobbies to see if I can learn the back story on this set. But I thought I would share it with you and bring it to your attention in case you wanted to grab a set for yourself.

This link should take you to the offering.

Hopefully I can attach some photos for you to review...

These are done by Cardograph in Italy, so they should be of the best quality.

Warbird Decals sold out their initial offering. However they have plenty in stock and have resisted it. If you can't find them listed, just write to them and they'll take care of you.

Pretty cool, but I'd be more interested in different-colored small boat numbers (charthouse, starboard turret, port splash shield, etc.) - black, white without shading, etc. in (Revell) 1/72nd and (Italeri) 1/35th scales.

The decals arrived today. They are absolutely perfect. When you consider all the colors, I'm impressed that it's in perfect registration.
