I'm at the point with this model where I need to decide on markings. I've unfortunately not paid attention to previous discussions as to the accuracy of the kit and/or aftermarket decals. A search for said commentary also yielded no results. With what images by internet buddies have so far provided I can see dissimilarities with the kit-supplied markings. Are there "accurate" decals/transfers available, or should I proceed with my original intention of hand-painting them?

Any help is appreciated,

Must be getting late! Here's another try!

Bison Decals

It is my opinion that, for all the praise Dragon gets, their decals, at least for the Shermans, are not up to par. They screwed up on both of their Thunderbolts (Thunderbolt IV should be VI, and the lightning bolts should point forward), Cool Studs #4 (both sides of the turret did NOT have the same markings), and I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with the Polish decals for the m4A1 76, though right now I can't remember for sure. And of course the Flat Foot Floogie one. They also tend to not include bumper codes for them as well, another frustrating practice.

Sorry for the short rant. Just my $.02.
Bison decals seem the way to go.
