Scaerne Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Heya's, Was wondering if the hive-mind could help me out. I found my old catachan models back and will begin to freshen up that army.I would love to stay fluff wise with it and field alot of flyers etc - you guessed it : Vietnam style. Does anyone have an idea where to best get water-decals like for instance of a Huey chopper(shark teeth, insignia's or the pin-up girls with text as on WW2 bombers) ?Do I have to buy a complete modelling set or can I get my hands on them somewhere separatly ?What scale do I have to choose/buy ? (I've read posts talking about 1/35 and 1/48 scale) All info welcome, thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Shark teeth I think you can paint on. They are just triangles. For the rest I am pretty sure you can get them without buying an actual model. check out this one or that one. AFAIK WH40k scale is much closer to 1:48 than 1:35.

walter h Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 You can try your local hobby store. They will sometimes have deacals left over from demo's,and even from returned merchandise. I found some from hobbytown,myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 There are lots about: https://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?search_direction=asc&search=decals&scale_id=955 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hive Mind? Hrmm the Commissariat will have to keep a close eye on this one ... I second the painting on the teeth method. Some general masking tape should do the job if not there's hobby / modelling sized tape that will work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 More: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WWII-Pinup-Model-Building-Nose-Art-decal-1-48-larger-325-/201224599549?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10 Just search Google for "1/48 nose art decals" and you'll get a lot of hits on EBay and Etsy. Try "1/48 shark teeth decals" as well... EBay is great for decals because lots of people paint their own markings and sell the decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaerne Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Haven't had the time due to work schedule, but thank you everyone for the feedback, next month will be a shopping spree :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mad Hermit Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I also play a game called Bolt Action, which is World War 2 in 28mm scale and it seems that all of their vehicles are in 1/56th scale. They have a bunch of different sets of waterslide transfers based around all the differing WW2 forces, some of which are pretty neat and might look interesting on 40K Guard vehicles and the like. I don't want to link the company's main page here but if you send me a DM I'll happily pass it along. If anything like that might interest you.

Inso Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I've also bought and used Warlord decals... on my armoured vehicles. Definitely a link worth posting here because it not only has vehicle decals, it also has decals for putting on troops... including rank: https://store.warlordgames.com/collections/bolt-action/decals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnboardG1 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 If you’re feeling adventurous and own a printer capable of reasonable quality photo printing then you could try purchasing water slide decal paper and printing your own decals. I’m planning on doing this for my knights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
