Post by: chicklewis on August 05, 2011, 11:02:20 PM

I need to find a manufacturer of very small swastika decals in white circles for the armbands of some of my pulp figures.  I just cannot paint 'em that small.  Maybe very small scale model aircraft suppliers would be the place to look, but I have come up empty.

Go ahead and post the information here, but instead of posting a link, you might do me a great favor by sending me that link by email at chicklewis@aol.com

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Try Dom's Decals or Reiver Miniatures. They do flags, symbols, licence plates.....so maybe there is something there that you could use.

Company B do a set for SS which must include the things you want.

As this is a German-based site I'm not going to post any sort of link.  You can find the company via google, then find the decals yourself.

I just laserprinted them in small scale on a white background, cut them and superglued them to the red armband. Works fine 8)

I will not post link but, since other people ask for the same info, I just use Dom Decals 1/300th code 300-GE-10a

Thanks for the tip, Orctrader, but the Company B sheets do not seem to include swastikas.

Calimero, THANKS, your tip on the Dom's Decals is a good one, I ordered the sheet you indicated.   There is no white circle background, but I can paint that and add the tiny twisted crosses from Dom's.

I-94 Enterprises from Michigan always come to the East cons.They do a lot off decals, including small scale, so you might want to check their site too.

I had  the same problem - GHQ have  them as air recognition symbols in their 1/300 microarmor range, on white circles. Perfect for the purpose.

Forgive my ignorance- is there a reason why one can't/shouldn't post a link to a company that sells decals with swastikas on them? I understand there is some regulations in European countries about dealing in memorabilia (eBay has some policies against it for sure), but is there a law against posting informational material on websites, or is it just bad form?

Just curious, I don't game anything remotely near WWII. Don't want to offend by asking- again, I'm ignorant :)

Thanks for the links, appreciated. I hadn't been to the WeirdWar boards so I missed one of those stickies. Pretty interesting. I wasn't aware a website could be held responsible for links posted there, that seems heavy handed but I guess I can understand.
