Mark S. Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Gents: I'm thinking of expanding my decal line into armor. Would like to know what you are interested in. Is it WW II, Korea, Vietnam, Cold War, Desert Storm, or OIF/OEF? Would you like to see just Traditional Armor, SP Guns,Gun Trucks, Humvee's and the like? Would scale would you like as well. Thanks, Mark S. Wolfpak Decals Edited June 1, 2012 by Mark S. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arkhunter2002 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 M48's and M113's in vietnam would be pretty sweet... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpabis525 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Would love to see some of the modern stuff like the Transformers, GI Joe and other related items that have been added to a whole host of HUMVEEs and tanks. Also, there was a HUMVEE pic a few years ago that on the the gun shield had the ASU mascot, Sparky on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fishwelding Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 For armor more than aircraft, standardized stencils seem to be most important: letters, numerals (for fender/hull codes, as well as turrets), maneuver markings, unit symbols. This could be for various armies in various eras. The problem with these sheets is that they don't appear as flamboyant as aircraft, where even one or two low-visibility jets on a single sheet tend to have sufficient unit-specific markings to appeal to the shopper. It's not that tanks never have unique markings. Artwork has and still does occasionally make it to turret faces, but generally most AFVs and support vehicles have a pretty bland set of markings applicable to decals. Indeed, for World War II allied AFVs, I've started masking and painting stars on. That said, there are products out there for armor markings, and I think there's still a market for good sheets of decal armor stencils. Produce sheets of bumper code stencils for various eras of the U.S. Army, for example, that allow the user to piece together a wide variety of different units. The requests for Vietnam markings, for example, could be met with a sheet for standardized stencils, then sheets for various artwork that was seen specifically on M113s, M551s, M48A3s,and so forth, including helmet art (peace signs, "sock it to me!" and other such '60s iconography) in 1/35th scale. (I'd buy several copies of standard sheets, and the M48A3 sheet today). Or produce a sheet of two different styles of Warsaw Pact turret numbers from the late Cold War, and have a research blurb included on exercise and maneuver markings (who wore the white "racing" stripes, when, and why). Or perhaps a sheet of standard stencils for the Australian or Canadian forces in a given era. Or ammunition cases, ration cases, and artillery round stencils (timely, with all the artillery kits recently available). These are just examples. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vimana Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 1/35 decals for various US Vietnam war subjects already exist, but sets for ARVN, PAVN, Cambodian and Laotian vehicles would be useful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarathi S. Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Modern stuff in 1/72, please. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RoNaf Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 1/35 decals for various US Vietnam war subjects already exist, but sets for ARVN, PAVN, Cambodian and Laotian vehicles would be useful. Totally agree with you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedCrown Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I'd love to get markings for the Humvees from Outlaw platoon used in Afghanistan with the green skulls painted on the doors. I'm currently reading the book Outlaw Platoon, it's a great read if anyone is interested. Rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

minuteman1636 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Would love to see more modern armor decal/transfer subjects....Especially HMMWV's. I have a website that I'm documenting HMMWV's on. www.hmmwvinscale.com I have access to various US vehicles as well if you need any photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
