Stormblom Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hello all, I am just getting back into the hobby after being out of it for about 20 years and have bought a couple of decals from TwoBobs. I was wondering if there are any others who make nice quality aftermarket military decals? Thank you Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) This should keep you busy for a while. ;) All sorted by country of origin. Some companies focus on their own country, others not. USA: Archer Fine Transfers AOA Decals Barracuda Bombshell Decals Bullseye CAM(Pro) & Milspec decals C.A.P. Decals Caracal Draw Decal EagleCals Experts Choice/Bare Metal Decals Fightertown Fireball Flying Leathernecks Fündekals Furball Impact Decals Linden Hill Microscale Speedhunter Squadron, owner of Aeromaster, Eagle Strike and Superscale Twobobs Vagabond Warbird Decals Werner's Wings Wolfpak Yellow Wings Then there are some defunct companies, but are still worth tracking down. Like Afterburner, Fox One and the various brands from Meteor Productions. Argentina: Condor Decals Australia: Gekko Graphics Hawkeye Models Red Roo Southern Sky Austria: IPMS Austria Belgium: Astra/Daco Brazil: FCM Canada: Aviaeology Belcher Bits CanMilAir Canuck Leading Edge Mike Grant Croatia: Ze-Ro Decals Czech Republic DP Casper DK Decals JBr Decals LF Models Owl Decals Rising Decals Denmark: Stoppel Models France: PheonDecals Syhart Germany: AirDoc/Double Ugly/Wingman DF HeloStuff HaHen Hi-Decal Peddinghaus Greece: Icarus LM Decals Hungary: HungAeroDecals Ireland: Max Decals Israel: IsraDecal Sky's Decals Italy: Italian Kits Tauro Japan: Arasawi, Revi, Axis and Flying Papa's Decals Lifelike Decals Platz Rocketeer Decals Malaysia: F4dable Models Mexico: Aztec Models Zotz Netherlands: Dutch Decal Flevo Decals New Zealand: Oldmodel Decals Ventura Norway: Vingtor Poland: Kagero ModelMaker Techmod Portugal: Carpena Russia: Begemot Mission Mark Serbia: Lift Here Singapore: Miliverse Slovenia: Balkan Models South Africa: MAV Decals Spain: Series Espanolas Sweden: Maestro Models Switserland: Matterhorn Circle Skyraider Model Design Taiwan: Bestfong DXM Thailand: Siam Scale Star Decals (Armor, also for Bison Decals, while stocks last) Turkey: BaBiBi Model Turquoise Decals Ukraine Printscale United Kingdom: AIMS Alley Cat Blackbird Models Blue Rider Decals Fantasy Printshop Firestreak Freightdog Models Hypersonic Models 26 Decals USAFLine Xtradecal And that's just from the top of my head.

2qwik4u Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Holy crap Pete! Awesome job on the list and thanks for all the links! This thread should be pinned, and hopefully kept up to date. -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slartibartfast Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Who makes the decals found in Kagero Books? And for Bare-Metal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Added both. I don't know who makes Kagero's decals, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wege Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Gekko Graphics is based out of East Australia. Oldmodel decals is NZ http://www.oldmodelsdecals.com/ JBr Decals in Czech republic http://www.jbr-decals.com/ printscale decals russia http://www.printscale.org/ peddinghaus decals germany www.peddinghaus-decals.de/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I checked the decals that come in Kagero's B-26 Marauder/ A-26 Invader book and they're printed by Cartograf. I don't know if Kagero decals can be had in any other way, I've only seen them in the books. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JFVicente Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Some more that could be of interest: Santa Cruz decals from Portugal Maestro Decals from Sweden And an online hobby shop, specialized on decals with a large list of producers: www.flightdecs.ca.

Hth Juan Is Santa Cruz still around? I looked for it, but couldn't find a website. Thanks for Maestro, I knew there was some Swedish company, but couldn't think of the name.

Stormblom Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Thanks for the tip on Maestro. I have been looking for a couple of the J32A decals which I will have to order now. Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slayermk1 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 -Third Group Decals -Aeromaster And what the first guy said. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Does Third Group Decals have a website? And about Aeromaster, they're part of Squadron now, to which I did post a link. There are many decal companies that no longer exist, but the decals can still be found everywhere. It would be a lot of work to list them all and post links to various online shops that might still have some of them in stock, and keep this up to date. That's why I focused on active companies with their own websites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dahut Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Nice Pete I wish I knew how to make them a personal sticky Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beingthehero Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) There's also Blue Rider Decals: http://www.insigniamag.com/02_172_decals.html They have a lot of obscure air forces, Tin Tin(!), and some of various markings of post-Soviet aircraft from the turbulent 90's. Bunch of decal sheets from the Yugoslav Wars as well, like Republika Srpska and Bosnian aircraft. On the other hand some of the references they used were second-hand and outdated, like their MiG-29UB on the Yugsolav/Serb Air Force sheet having a totally fictional camo scheme.

Pete Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Sure we can, nice stuff. I also added DK Decals from the Czech Republic to the list. They have some interresting WW2 sheets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
