Aircraft data plate & photo for diorama or base plate

Dear Fincescale Modeling Forum Members,
I am about to finish my first book. It will contain more than 80
previously unpublished photos of captured German WW2 planes, mostly from
1944/45. Together with the book, also decal sheets in 1/48 and 1/32 for
the four most attractive birds will be available (He 162 A-2, Fw 190
A-8, Bf 109 G-10).
Now, the reason for this post is not to make advertising for my book
(and hence, I do not mention the title), but to ask you modelers for
feedback: I have several original Luftwaffe data plates in my collection
and thought it would be nice to display a (exact replica) data plate
and real photo (copy taken from my original photos) of a particular
aircraft on the decal sheet along with the model; e.g. on the side of a
diorama or on a simple base plate. The photo and data plate could be
attached to the base plate or onto a separate Plexiglas frame or any other
idea a modeler may have.
Since developing and ordering such a product means also an investment, I
first wanted to ask you guys if there were interest in something like
that or if you think this is unnecessary. I estimate the price for the
data plate, photo, 4 rivets, vintage photo corners and manual with a
color profile at about 10 Euro, but I haven’t done any facts based
calculation yet, so this value could change.
Any feedback is very welcome!
Thanks,
Roger
