China Shipping decals- interest?

I've done up the artwork for these containers, both 40' and 20', with the two kinds of Chinese lettering logo (4 and 6 character, don't ask me what it means!). 

I'm getting these printed by a commercial custom producer, each fraction of the sheet will have decals for 6 X 40' and 4 X 20', all unique numbers from prototype containers.  It will be about $12/ sheet plus shipping. 

Any interest out there?

Yes!

Count me in for 2-3 sets Scott and I'm flexible with respect to final numbers.

Potentially.  Are undec cans available?  I haven't checked in a while.

I have been able to get DI regular and high cube 40' at MBK in the past few weeks, and they have 20' too.

Finalizing unit numbers(those big numbers) and the black background is for ease of viewing.  Lettering will be white with some blue in the door emblems.  Fits a 1/3 sheet but I will space things out a bit to make cutting easier, especially with the 20' decals.

Hi Scott

I would be interested in a few sets for sure. Speaking of container decals, where did you get the TEX decals that you posted a few weeks back?

The TEX and other decals were from http://www.c-rail-intermodal.co.uk/.  I know they are 1:150, but it is difficult to see the difference when I look at them next to factory painted containers.

I found some of the heavy large logos from that company did not snug down well on the surface:  P&O, NOL were examples that caused me a lot of grief.  Most of the others like TEX, MSC, APL, Yang Ming were excellent.

OK, that is enough people to justify a few pages printed, I'll contact via PM when they are in.

You should let Dave at DI know (again) how much you want those JB H... That is a big gap in the modern fleet.
