They look close enough in my opinion. Color is not 100% spot on but they do look better than no decals or beat up ones. Also depends on the quality of your printer.

Don't buy re pros. They should all be burned in the fire.

Its sacraledge to put anything modern on something vintage.

Only an opinion.

Cheers.

You can tell close up, they would be ok for display, I don't advise you do it, just upgrade !

If you do it an sell them on, don't forget to mention it ;)

They look acceptable in my opinion....Buy what you can afford and use your best judgement. Some people do despise repros and that is fine, but collect for yourself, not the opinions of the collecting community...This is why I am banned from RS :lol:

collecting is on on what you can afford. And it is your ships you can do what you want. But i would rather them with no stickers instead off repo stickers. Rember you can alway take the repo stickers off if you dont like them on

Dont do it mate. If its loose ships then they are not that expensive to replace and you will probably be able to sell on your loose ships without stickers to help fund the new ones with stickers.

Only an opinion, Its your call.

Cheers.

I've used replacement stickers and think they look ok. They have made my scrap-heap buys good for my own collection. As I won't be selling mine on it's not a problem.

As has already been said it's much down to how you feel about using them.

Famous last words! :mrgreen:
(I have 2 if not 3 times sold and restarted for several reasons and I always utter those words "Hey, I won't be selling up so"...etc etc)

I guarantee 90% of the people here have either sold everything at one stage to get out of the hobby, upgraded, changed their direction in the hobby or have had financial/personal trouble and have had to sell things.

Anyway, whatever you do whilst you collect, enjoy it :)
The one thing you can do to avoid complications if you sell is just be honest , which I don't doubt you wouldn't be!

If you need any give me a shout, i guess the quality depends on your printer and what your printing on, ive only used 2x R5 stickers and thought they looked a bit crap but i didnt change my printer settings nor use glossy label type paper, experiment and im sure theyll look better than nothing lol
