Hi im looking for some 1:6 German water slide decals or a supplier of them .I require them for the Schwimwagen , Kubelwagen , Kettenkrad and sdKfz 250 Neu . Also required ss number plates , tyre pressure markings , fire extinguisher labels and divisional insignia (not sure which one yet). I have tried printing my self with no luck.
I've used Patches of Pride in the US who I found very helpful before but they don't have all I require
Thanks Andy

cant you stencil them and spray them, in 1/6th scale they should be quite big, and more authentic if painted on

you can buy blank decal sheets that you print out yourself and then seal with a fixer so it is possible to make your own things like vehicle id plates extinguisher labels etc, it does depend on how good your printer is though

I have made my own in the past with this.....

The tricky one is white decals, as a printer won't print white

but they have white decal sheets.

Hi there
Might also be worth giving Mark Spencer (Mark-1-Tanks) or Lee Sellers (Newthorpe Models) a ping
