Rarely, has the decal manufacturer, Bison, offered such an ample list of new releases. South African, New Zealand and even Cuban vehicles figure amongst others in these new releases.
There are five new sheets in 1/35th and a sixth in 1/72nd scale. personally speaking, BD-35063 is a truly extraordinary sheet with some really eye-catching schemes.

It's great to see that slowly more and more british / commonwealth vehicles appear on the modeling battlefield. And gladly decal manufacturers don't stay behind. Bison is in my opinion one of the better decal makers, and i applaud them for making british / commonwealh decals. I highly recommend Bison decals for being very thin and there ease of use. Frank.

Not just that though, they have tended to specialize more than others and the level of imagination they present is absolutely extraordinary...

Fantastic to see the scope Jim. I'm envious that there was no Australian Sherman regiment or I would be in modellers heaven... Good for our ANZAC cohorts across the Tesmin though. (Pity about their cricketers and Rugby coaches... ) Brad
