I don't know if anyone spoke to this bit later (haven't got through all
the
"decals" messages yet).

I have done a LOT of model aircraft model kits, particularly in 1/144
scale
(and by the way, if anyone is into 1/144 scale aircraft models I have
LOTS
of kits I'd be happy to sell off...), and there are, to the best of my
knowledge, NO decal sheets with more than a couple (maybe up to 5 or 6
max)
nose art decals.  If you're planning a BUNCH of them on one sheet, that
would be great.   And I've never seen them small enough for 1/300 scale
(not really many for 1/144 scale either).
