Unit decals

Post by coastie »

Does anyone know where I can get a set of decals for a tiger tank of the 4__SS-Polizei-Panzergrenadier-Division As everyone seems to be doing Wittmans Tigers I thought I`d have a bash at something different

Image

This is the unit badge
Image

then it was transfer according to Wiki to

4th company of SS panzer Regiment SS Panzer grenadiere Divison (LAH)
Image

I`ve painted my second tiger as per first image and would like to get the details right I would have a go at painting the unit badge and numbers myself but my dicky hands arent steady enough anymore after to failed operations.Can anyone Help and is the info correct?
Thanks
Geoff

You can print the decals yourself, purchase decal paper and bonding spray on line.

The shield with the key should be about 15mm x 10mm . Numbers range in size but typically they are 18MM-20MM tall and depending on the number maybe 15mm wide. What you might consider is reviewing some of the build threads and the numbers on the tank relative to the section of the Tiger they are applied on.
