Help with transfers/decals?
« on: January 26, 2022, 01:14:49 PM »
I have the Perry Austin K2 Ambulance and am looking for some red cross transfers/decals for it. I'm sure I found some somewhere that looked suitable but can't find anything now. Can anybody help?  ???

Also, I'm looking for a sheet of DAK transfers/decals suitable for some 1/56 DAK vehicles.

Thanks in advance.

These are listed as 1/76th but I *think* they'll do just fine....

Great Escape Games Store do a good range of decals - they have a Red Cross sheet, as well as one for the DAK.

Thanks, Dags and David H. The Great Escape ones are out of stock, so I've ordered the Skytrex ones, cheers.

Take a look at Rubicon.  I bought a few of their sets and are really nice.

Ooops...wrong set..Here's the DAK ones:

Many thanks, that set looks good. It's £4.00 on the UK site but they are charging £5 to ship it, which is a bit over the top for one sheet of decals!

Thanks for the link, anyway, cheers.

Maybe, but a fist class stamp is £0.85 add a decent card envelope and £1.00 is not unreasonable.

Sorry, I meant £5 shipping in addition to the £4 cost, so £9 in total.

I agree, £1 for shipping some transfers would be very reasonable.

Clearly you aren’t allowing for the shoe leather necessary for them to walk it to the post box fella!  ;)

Pretty sure Rubicon have large red crosses. I’ve probably go some spares in my decal box.

Might be worth a look at Warlord Games ( https://store.warlordgames.com/collections/german-afrika-korps?page=3 )
Again may be issues with postage costs

Many thanks everyone for your invaluable help. I have ordered the Skytrex ambulance transfers as the Great Escape ones are out of stock. I've yet to choose my DAK transfers but you've given me a lot to look at, cheers.
