Hi Kev, your re-decal looks great, thank you for posting the details here.
You've inspired me to seriously think about having a go at mine, which has very ropey artwork where someone has previously tried to touch it up and it doesn't look good!
May I ask where you bought the decals, I've seen Planetary mentioned but can't see Whirlwind on there, and you also said you bought a second set too, presumably elsewhere? I've seen these here:

Hi Matey, thanks very much, yeah the set I ended up using were from Planetary, but like you I cant find them on the site anymore, been through my emails and the invoice came from them, I brought them in early march, so not that long ago.
The first set I ordered were from Ministry, and decided not to use them for a couple of reasons, mainly due to the blue being slightly lighter more greyish in colour, which isn't so much of a problem, its probably closer to the blue most cabs are now after years of fading, but I had already brought the paint cans going from a thread on pinside, so would have needed to get some colour matched paint from b&q, and then buy/rent a compressor as I'm useless with a brush or roller, so I really wanted to stick with spray cans.
There was also some minor colour banding on the large single colour areas, not terrible, but definitely there. If I hadn't already brought the paint I would have probably used them.
Its really hard to find detailed up close pictures of repro decals online, which is annoying, most places just have tiny thumbnail images and judging the quality is impossible, its also worth noting that the Planetary decals have a couple of errors too, the circle around the W on the sides of the head are solid black rather than being 2 separate rings, and the cloud image on the right hand side is an inch or so higher than on the left.
If you like I can try and get some pictures of the Ministry decals along side the Planetary ones on the cab.
