Wanting do a few WWII US Cav. Recon. vehicles. Are there decals available, to mark different vehicles of the same unit.
Looking at jeeps, M8s, M20s, light tanks, etc..
Thanks.

Jim,
If you have a computer, which I'm guessing you do since you are on here, and an inkjet printer, Testors makes a decal kit. It works great. I use it all the time. Just be sure and get the clear backing decal sheets and not the white backing. You can get it from most hobby shops or straight from Testors.
Another alternative is to have the decals custom made by any of the various companies/people that do that. The one that comes to mind is Decalmaniac (I think that's spelled right/)

Marc and Steve, thanks for those links. I had found a link to Archer, but was not about decals, so wrong company I guess. Hadn't found Bison yet.
Dave, thanks for reminding about the Testor system. I had lloed at it a few years ago, for doing some RR stuff, but found some I could use, so never bothered buying it. Will look into that, at least for specific things that Archer and Bison don't have.
Thanks all.

Jim,
Archer does make decals as well as transfers, you just have to dig a little on the page. You can use their transfers on decal paper (they also sell it). Their stuff and service is great.
