Decals for Arado AR196s - 1/350th Tirpitz Aircraft
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, March 25, 2004 7:26 AM
Does anyone know of a source for decals for Tirpitz' AR196 floatplanes in 1/350th scale for the Tamiya kit? I've uncovered some nice pics of the aforementioned planes and would like to make them up as realistic as possible. Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Hi -

I have two suggestions. One - try Gold Medal Models. I know they offer a sheet of 1/700 aircraft markings; I'm not sure about 1/350. A good way to get to the Gold Medal website is via <www.steelnavy.com>. If you haven't been to the Steel Navy site yet, you're in for a treat.

Two - if you live within convenient distance of a good hobby shop that caters to aircraft modelers, browse through its assortment of 1/48 and 1/72 decal sheets (by Superscale, etc.) keeping an eye open for American and British aircraft that have kill markings. They frequently take the form of tiny iron crosses and/or swastikas that, if you're lucky, are just the right size. The black and white stencilling for 1/48 and 1/72 aircraft models also is a good source of letters and numbers for 1/350 and 1/700 fuselages and wings.

Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.

Hi, just get a decal film from Testors and using MC Paint on your computer print them out, apply Testors decal set and poof, you're done. you can even download the aircraft markings, save somewhere and "copy from" using paint and modify as needed!

Hope this helps.
