WW2 USN Aircraft Decals (1/350 Scale)
GM350-6D - $8.00
|
 |
| A single 10" by
4" sheet that contains hundreds of markings in full color including
national insignia in four sizes (24", 36", 48" and 60" diameters)
and for five historical periods (pre-WW2 to 1942, 1942 to June 1943,
June 1943 to Oct. 1943, Oct. 1943 to 1947, and 1947 to present day
(these latter being intended for modelers building Essex-class ships
in Korean war configuration.) Total number of all national insignia
in all sizes and eras: 532. Also on the sheet are alphabet letters
in one size (24" high) and numbers in two sizes (24" and 36" high)
with both printed in two colors: black and white. Five alphabet sets
are white, two are black, and all are 24" high. There are 42 sets of
numerals from 1 through 0 provided; twenty sets are 24" high and 22
are 36" high with half printed in white and half in black. White
"NAVY and "MARINES" markings are supplied, too; 34 36" NAVY's, 12
48" NAVY's, and 22 36" MARINES'. A small number of other useful
markings are also provided. Up to ten aircraft in each era's
markings can be equipped with this decal; in some cases, twenty or
more can be outfitted depending on aircraft size. A full air wing
for one era will require about four sheets. |

WW2 USN Carrier Decals
(1/350 Scale) GM350-7D $9.00
|
 |
| Two 9" by 4"
sheets that contain large black numerals for the flight decks of
World War Two U.S. Navy Fleet Aircraft Carriers, particularly
Yorktown and Essex-class ships. The decal provides numbers in the
following quantities: 1 x 4; 2 x 4; 3 x 4, and 4 through 0 x 2 each.
Also supplied are the following ships' names in black: Lexington
(two names provided), Saratoga (two names provided), and one sample
each of Wasp, Yorktown, Enterprise, Hornet, Essex, Intrepid,
Franklin, Ticonderoga, Randolph, Bunker Hill, Hancock, Bennington,
Boxer, Bon Homme Richard, Leyte, Kearsarge, Antietam, Princeton,
Shangri La, Lake Champlain, Tarawa, Valley Forge, and Philippine
Sea. All decals are printed in flat black with the deck numerals
having flat clear carrier film over the color image areas only. All
numbers have correct configurations and sizes based on study of
aerial photos of actual WW2 USN carriers.
WARNING! The
large flight deck numbers have been designed to eliminate the clear
carrier film effect from the hollow areas of the numbers and this
makes the decal numerals EXTREMELY delicate after they have been
dipped in water. To avoid problems, allow the image to thoroughly
loosen from the paper backing sheet and slide the image VERY GENTLY
using small movements onto the plastic model's surface. Make certain
the model's surface is thoroughly wetted before attempting to slide
the decal onto it or tearing and fracturing may result.
MODELER'S TIP:
Use a number that won't be needed on your model to practice your
techniques before committing yourself to the actual numbers you
need. |
