Not to be a wet blanket, but for anyone using opaque black bases,
it's very easy to print your own alphanumeric labels as white
reversed out of black, and attach them to the bases with  a little
watered white glue (which also protects them). That's my approach.
Works nicely for labels on the bottom of DSII vehicles, too.
I do the same with transparency sheet for clear bases (but print
black on clear, there).
 
That said, if I could just buy decals of various symbolic elements
(i.e., not just alphanumerics), I probably would.
