Looking for 1:16 decals.

Has anybody got a lead? I'm finding things that are mostly for German tanks... not much else.

Look for Peddinhaus decals - they have also Allied vechicles, mostly US Shermans but also Soviet and British tanks.

Which model is it for? And have you considered stencils?

Thank you for mentioning me, Herr Herman.HERMAN BIX wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 10:14 am Mr Radshuart in here is a virtual Harry Potter of the 16th stencil.
Yeah, I still make my custom stencils. Link for the OP https://radindustries.wordpress.com/201 ... /stencils/
But I keep researching and doing new things! Now I am able to produce decals as well, but it is in beta testing. Once it passes my quality control, I will publish it on my website. It will probably be on february.
Early tests are looking great. Pictures dont make justice and that was prior to doubling the printing resolution. This would be for example the markings for a 1:16 kubelwagen. https://radindustries.files.wordpress.c ... jpg?w=1024

That's a hell of an innovation Mr Schuhart, Id still stay with the stencil advice for now, tried & tested quality, but the decals you are developing Im sure will be just as good given time & I'm sure you will get them right , as thats just what you doRad_Schuhart wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 11:09 amThank you for mentioning me, Herr Herman.HERMAN BIX wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 10:14 am Mr Radshuart in here is a virtual Harry Potter of the 16th stencil.

Do you reckon the Arabic script is able to be done for the T72 I have planned for Mr Mithras ?

I also preffer the stencils over the decals. It is like another world of quality, but sometimes the detail is so small and intrincate, or has so many different colours that a stencils is not the best option, hence I started making decals.HERMAN BIX wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 11:16 am

Well, fun fact, I started making decals because I was driving myself crazy stencilling a pin up for my C47 Skytrain, lol. Desperate times demand desperate ideas!
About arbic scrip, sure thing, it should not be a problem. I already did arabic things for some people in the past.

For many of my 1/16 builds, there are simply no decal, transfer or stencil options. I have learned how to scan more plentiful 1/35 decal sheets, expand to 1/16 and print with my inkjet on either transparent or white virgin decal sheets available on Amazon depending on the required color and background, then sprayed with Tamiya semi gloss enamel varnish spray, let dry before use. There is a bit of trial and error to go through. It usually requires 2 or 3 attempts to get it right, but it works for me, and its cheap.
