The French and German film posters look really useful. Makes a change from the same old propaganda posters. One thing which always baffles me though is why manufacturers do British and American posters for anything. How many people do a diorama in the US or Britain where they can use them? It would be nice to see some advertising posters for household products etc of various nations. Also what would be ideal would be labels to go on canned food of various sizes. As making the cans is a doddle it would be nice to label them up. I've seen some for sale but they're very expensive for what they are

If they must do American films at least do the foreign posters for American films of the 1930s that were playing in across Europe.
As for canned food labels that's approximately 3mm by 5-7mm. Might as well paint the red stripes for a Campbell's soup can and leave it that.
Seriously though, it would be easy to reduce the play scale or doll house labels to 1/35 and print them out.

Or at least it's easy for me because I routinely enlarge them to 1/6 with little problem.

I likewise don't get the Allied propaganda/movie posters since unless you're doing D-Day minus 1 or something, there couldn't be a lot of traction for them. But then again, there are so many, so what do I know?

I have some of their production and I must say, these are great quality prints. Lots of original things such as cigarettes boxes.
