Who makes a set of decals or dry transfers for Volkstrum armbands 1/35th?

I was sure there were a set out there, but cannot find them now.

There are some included in the new German Insignia set from Eduard, but these are PE. I don't know of any decal ones?

Vinnie,
I see the wide swastika and medic bands in the review, as well as the narrower arm bands (divisons), but did not see any of the volksturm armbands like these.

I realize there were a wide variety of armbands, but the ones in the Eduard set are not the same as the ones I need for the old DML Volksturm figures and the black clad 'Panzerfaust Kid' in the new Gen 2 Eastern Front tank hunters set.


On an unrealted note, have you had a chance to use the Eduard set? How well do the PE bands fit onto 1/35th figures? Any problem getting them to fit into the creases and folds?
