I think I boobed on the 17 pounder decal sheet released recently. I gather almost all the stencilled writing on the boxes should be yellow, not white, with the exception of the wording for the type of ammo on the lid, which sometimes was white. I'm having the sheet reprinted and I' will send out replacement sheets to those of you who already have the original sheet as soon as I can. Apologies for this! Lesson learned; don't believe everything you read and see on the interweb.....

Tim

PS thanks Derek!

I have not seen your sheet , Tim, but in the future, you may consider doing both white and yellow. If the yellow is your color, one can always place the them over the white decals to make 'em pop out a bit more.

If white is the color, then just the white can be applied.

Just a suggestion.

white/yellow

Hi Patrick,

as I have a bunch already printed in white, I will just add the replacement yellow sheets to the existing packets in stock so the customer will have the choice. I don't think I could bring myself to bin the white ones, just in case they were useful! Anyone who already bought a set will get the yellow ones as soon as I have them back from the printers. I was more worried that someone might go ahead and use the white ones and finish a model where swapping, or overlaying them as you suggest, might be difficult!

K and C ration boxes, and the assorted 25 pounder boxes, go into production over the week-end hopefully, by the way, and there are a couple more track sets gearing up as well.
