Ohhh I'd be very interested in a set of such decals. My SDF-1 has yellowed over the years and I've been kicking around the idea of repainting her, but had no way of replacing the old and peeling stickers.

I came across a video on youtube where this guy uses this product from Sallys Beauty and a UV light to return his plastic to original color. He tests it out on some old computers and it works brilliantly. I got a cheap SDF-1 off ebay that is very yellow and ive been looking at trying to either restore her or use her in a diorama back to back with a clean SDF-1 to represent the SDF-1 and 2 at the end of Macross Saga. 

 Heres the video link if interested: 

i believe the stickers are clear, how would they do that at a print store? would they be able to eliminate the yellowish background like a green screen? and im guessing we would have to cut them individually....man if there was a way to have that set i think you could bank on it because theres so many without stickers, peeling stickers, plus just to have a "spare" set would probably increase the value.

Also on ebay is a guy selling 3D reprints of the usual broken bits, arms, cannons, and the like.  If you can pick up a broken one cheap and don't mind painting, it's not a bad deal.  I considered it, but I found one with an unused sticker sheet for $150.  If anyone wants, I can scan it and post it here as an image.  I was planning on just painting them on.

i picked up a broken one for $80. fixed it....it has the stickers on it. for the most part not much yellowing, but i also got one that looks like it was just born without stickers. im trying to figure out how they would make the sticker sheet with the shapes of the stickers ready to peel off. aside from that im working on photoshopping a clean copy of the box to get printed out so i can have a perfect looking box. 

seems like the main things missing from SDF-1s selling on ebay are either the arms (Daedalus & Prometheus), the main antennae, and/or the stickers. Just bought one that looks like it was freshly made but has no stickers.

Are these stickers still for sale? Recently got an SDF-1 clean with no stickers. Thanks!
