Hopefully someone can help me out. I'm building a Pzkw I and need 3 white cross decals used on German tanks in the Polish campaign. If you have any in your spares that you'd like to let go, please contact me here or by PM. Thanks!


I have a few German decals in my spares box, if you had a pic of exactly what you need I might be able to help out.



cheers

Hi Richard, in Poland and the early French campaign the German national mark was a plain white cross. Originally the same shape as the later, more familiar, black and white one, they quickly began evolving as the Germans realized what good aiming points they made for enemy gunners. Here's an example:

I just got home and checked, no dice :

Maybe you could use a set of regular crosses of the right size and paint them white. I have had to clear coat over decals before and as long as the coats are thin it should work out ok.
