Hi, can anyone help, please? I've recently been given a number of commissions to build for a customer, all of which are 1/35 British AFVs in the desert conflict in WWII. I have come across reviews of some really nice decal subjects made by a Canadian firm called Quartermaster's Stores, which have been previously posted on this site (and at other locations). However, the e-mail links don't seem to send me to a decal or model company. Does anyone know if the company are still trading, if the decals would be available to buy from here in the UK via any internet store, or, perhaps, does anyone out there have spare sheets of the 1/35 sets British WWII Tanks in the Desert # 1, 2, 3 and 4? Any help at all would be appreciated. Cheers to you all.

I think Rob had posted some time back that he was all out of the sets now. I had suggested to someone else they try him (I had purchased a number of them myself). Not sure if I have the ones you are looking for but I will check this weekend.

Thanks for the info so far. Rob at Formations has confirmed he has no stock remaining, so if anyone has any they wish to sell, please let me know. Cheers again.

Try Hornet Hobbies. They are located in Toronto and Dave the owner (a great guy) might be able to help you find some.

Robin,

The only set I have is #4 however in looking the sheet over I noticed that all the markings there are part of an Echelon set for M4A2 Sherman III (ALT352002) as well. Some of those sets are listed as out of print too but you might be able to locate some of them easier than the QMD stuff.
See here: http://pachome1.pacific.net.sg/~kriegsketten/

Maybe that will locate a set for you. If you are stuck and want to get this #4 set contact me by email I can part with it I have plenty of projects without building Brit shermans in the desert.

Rob.
