I'm not sure anybody makes a sign set in 1/72, however a quick search on the web turned up this image...



This is the Tamiya 1/48th set but the image is nearer 1/72nd.
Print it off on either thick paper or thin card. Cut out the signs and attach to some scrap plastic for the posts.
Don't forget to colour in the reverse. I'd use a coloured pencil rather than paint to prevent the colour bleeding through.
