Old DA decals

[Kierdale]

I recently found about two and a half sheets of old (1989) UM and DA decals:

They'll need some time in the sun to de-yellow them but I was really glad to find them. The sergeant and veteran chevrons for one, but I also realised that the DA icons aren't the same as the current DA chapter icon, no?

Would they be better suited to Fallen?

They would be good for Fallen or a Sucessor Chapter I'd recon.

You know, it really :cuss ed me off in the late 90's when I got a tactical squad with those in them. Now though, I'm glad to have them.

Nice find! Could you please tell me about de-yellowing the decals? I have some old DA decals as well, do you just put them on direct sun?

[Kierdale]

Thanks.

 

I've heard anything from a few hours to a couple of days in sunlight can de-yellow them. Likely a couple of hours once I get back to Japan. I'll check and see how they go (and will report ;) ).

 

I guess I'll need to make some Fallen then :D

I usually put the decal sheet in a ziploc sandwich baggie and tape the baggie to a window that gets the most sun. Check on it periodically and when the yellow is gone you're good to go.

 

Those would be great for a Horus Heresy era force too.
