Free national markings, unit badges, and fonts for homemade decals!

I don't know if this has been posted or not, but for those of y'all that create your own decals, I have the perfect website. You can download some of these images free, then once you use up some amount of bandwidth, you have to become a member, which is also free, it just takes a bit of filling out forms...anyways, they have paint shop pro images (these will also open in GIMP) of all kinds of national markings, unit badges for what appears to me to be *every* luftwaffe unit from WWII, as well as a smattering of other goodies. Check it out!

These are ridiculously high quality images, I wish I could thank whoever made them personally.  I never even considered reference material from flight sim skinnners, LOL, who'd of thought?  Enjoy, and if you know of more sites like these, by all means, please share.

I saw a Testors decalmaking kit at WalMart for 7$ the other day. These are indeed heady times.

I'm glad y'all like the site, I was blown away by some of the stuff they had...the Luftwaffe badges?? Oh man, now anything is doable! Let me know if the link becomes bad again and I'll hunt for a new one. Enjoy! Smile [:)]

Never trust anyone who refuses to drink domestic beer, laugh at the Three Stooges, or crank 'Back In Black'. ;)

I like this take on the old W.C. Fields quote (said with cigar in hand): "I never trust a man who won't drink with me." Very up-to-date. For the record, try some Yeungling 'Black and Tan', produced by the oldest continuous brewery in America. Why, soitenly... Big Smile [:D]
