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.

Semper Fi!

Quarter Master's Depot has some, even comes with rank badges.

Comes with the following:

They also have a modern set worth checking out if you do modern or Vietnam era modelling too.

[quote]Quarter Master's Depot has some, even comes with rank badges.

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.
