Hi everybody.

I'm sure many of you are familiar with Dragon's Tiger 1 kits...well i was looking at one today and noticed that the decal supplied in the kit for the fire extinguisher looks absolutely nothing like the 'Tetra' label that usually went on WW2 German fire extinguishers?

This one is merely a small square shaped block of black text. I would post a photo but am struggling to attach it.

Does anyone know if the decals in these Dragon kits are accurate at all?
Thanks!

That is an excellent link...thank you so much for sharing! Very very informative!

I've got the Alliance Modelworks 1:35 fire extinguisher placards, which are very well printed but are definitely too big for 1:35th scale(?) ...they don't fit any of thr three brands of 1:35 kit fire extinguishers I've trued them on (dragon, academy and rye field)... I've been looking for the Peddinghaus ones but they're not in stock at the hobby stores i usually use. Will keep looking!

I've used Archer's transfers before to good effect.

Has anyone used the Peddinghaus Tetra decals already?

Do they have the same problem as the Alliance Modelworks ones beeing to big in 1/35?

I'm not sure if it would be better to buy them in 1/48.

cheers Chris
