(NOTE: You can place any number you want on the ships you purchase. A number decal sheet comes with the model. Each additional decal sheet will cost an additional $3.00. For instance, if you wanted to place the number 777 on your ship, you would need 2 extra decal sheets. Or, if you wanted to put the number 868 you would need just one extra decal sheet.)
