Any advice on a good supplier for US Unit insignias in 1/35 scale? Verlinden makes one but doesn't have the variety or the quantity of patches. What about a source for Armored Division patches or some of the less popular infantry divisions? I would really like to find some 8th Infantry Division or 106th Infantry Division insignias.

Archer carries some, go to Browse and Shop, then to Uniform Patches. I see both the 8th ID & 106th listed.

Thanks for the info, Guys! I am getting really bored with hand-painting the easier unit insignias, like the 5th Infantry Division, on all of my figures.

I've got QMD's Canadian 1st & 2nd Armoured Brigade and 5th Armoured Division decal sets and they're great.
I imagine that the U.S. sets should be of the same quality.

Update: Hudson & Allen Studio do a number of U.S. Army and U.S. Marine insignia decal sets.
Apparently they don't have a website but if you go to the U.S. Army Models site, they have HAS contact info.
