Kevin, did you copy the Ballard & Notton reproduction?

That has a number if known faults, one is the script pointed out by Alex, the other is the tan colour which should be more yellowish (resembling the gold flake) as can be seen in the pictures above.

What Ballard & Notton did was a good effort at the time, but we may want to improve on it this time?

This is what triggered Kevin’s interest: it is approx 4” in diameter and is applied to the door of his Dodge truck:

Agreed.
Why would we make a copy of a poor quality copy produced earlier?

Kevin,

I understand from Hanno that you have updated the decal(?). Could you post a picture of the updated one?
Are the sizes and prices mentioned above still up to date?

regards,
Alex

Default Placement of decals?

Now that Kevin has sorted the reproduction of the decal, we should collect more pics of placement & sizing.

Here’s a picture of one on the side of the Cab 43 of a F60B. I reckon this is the 3” size?
