Hi All,
Can anyone offer a lead for 1/16 German ordnance (ammunition) decals/transfers or stencils? Am looking for something as close as possible for Sturmtiger rounds. I couldn't locate anything applicable at Peddinghaus or Archer that quite meets the requirement. Thanks gents.

Re: Source For Ordnance Decals/Stencils?
Hi
I have just tried Waterslide decal sheets that you put into your Ink jet printer and then you can your own ie. any size or quantity ( if you look at my Kangaroo last build photo's) they are all made using this method. The only thing you have to do is after the ink has dried (about 30 minutes) lightly spray the detail with matt spray to seal it, after that's dry you can cut it out, 15 seconds in warm water and slide the decal onto your model. After its dry again seal it with a light spray of matt varnish. Decals sheets was £8.00 for 10 off A4 including P&P from E-bay.

Hi Denzil and MichaelC--
Both great ideas. I will have to look into the Waterslide route when time permits and I can get my balky printer to cooperate.
And, yes, that RCTank shell/decal combo might be just the ticket.
Thanks gents. I appreciate the input.

Re: Source For Ordnance Decals/Stencils?
I'm also set up to print decals, and the part about the "balky printer" doesn't sound good. If you want decent results a decent printer is a must. I'm using an old Epson artisan series that takes five different ink colors plus black and it does pretty good, but still won't print white, which is a major deal in decal printing. Excellent results can be achieved, but it's almost a hobby within the hobby, if ya know what I mean.
