Adam Baker Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I'm currently working on 2 Verlinden 120mm figures, and I'm in need of patches & rank insignia's and other things for the figures. One figure is a US Navy Top Gun pilot, so I need a Tomcat logo, and rank insignia's, and the 2nd figure is a Desert Storm SAW gunner, so I'd need insignia's for him as well.

daywalker Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) Alliance Model Works makes a few sets in that scale, though there's none listed on Ebay right now for modern US troopers. Sorry, can't help you on the pilot figure. Edited March 4, 2012 by daywalker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Baker Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Unfortunately AFAIK all the Alliance Model Works stuff is all WWII stuff, which unfortunately wont work for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyT Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) I print my own Adam, these were one on an ALPS printer, though you can do them on a laser or inkjet, you just need to seal them.. did the stripes eagle flag, airborne, first aid kit markings, US markings and name on his jacket. they are 1/9th on this.. http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=240512 or what about http://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/Detailing_and_Weathering/VER00000605/product.php?s=0&t=9&pg=1&ppp=24&sb=stocknumber&so=a&sc=16 http://pachome1.pacific.net.sg/~kriegsketten/ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Echelon-1-16-P163020-US-Army-Patches-/180814114599?pt=UK_ToysGames_ModelKits_ModelKits_JN&hash=item2a195c6f27 Edited March 5, 2012 by TonyT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Baker Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 The suggestion was made on another forum about making my own decals, which was actually something I hadn't thought about or considered, and something I'll definitely be looking into. I like the look of those patches, I'll definitely take a look at those, they might be perfect for what I need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyT Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I use this paper Adam, my Alps printer is a rarity amongst printers as in it has white ink, if you have white in them you can use white decal fim, but will need to trim them close or you will get a halo around your decal, on clear paper you don't get that, but white will be transparent when printed as a normal printer uses the white of the paper for the colour. However, there is now a white inkjet colour coming out. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=45423 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
