The kit includes directional markers, street signs and milestone markers that were common in the north and east of France during World War II. There are 20 signs you could find along the roadside in the 1930s or 1940s in the east and north of France (and possibly beyond).
The decals are provided for the smoothest adhesion to the plastic parts that replicate steel and concrete that you mount these on.
The plastic:
There are six light grey plastic sprues in the kit; these are replicas of the concrete road signs found all around France, and specifically in this version, in the countryside north and east of Paris–right the way to the German border. This pack contains 28 decals to create a very professional-looking sign. These are all taken from the examples of the pictures above in this article, so accuracy is guaranteed.
Smaller place/town markers are also supplied in the kit. This kit includes concrete signs and block-types of signs that are used for intersections with +-shaped intersections due to their four-sided shape.
