Anyone have recommendations for decals/transfers for a 1/72 WW2 US Willy's Jeep? Having trouble finding any.
Thanks

When you say decals you mean specific unit marking, yes??
As any good 1/72-6 generic star set would give a selection of stars plus some lettering for reg numbers etc
I got a set of stars from Hannants in London and they cover all sizes your likely to need for British, Commonwealth and Yank vehicles, plus bridging weight yellow circles, numbers, letters....

Bluenoser As you appear to be in the US try this site aleranminis.com/They do a huge range in 1/76 but they look fine on 1/72. I've ordered several sets direct from the US and even though I'm in UK it was much cheaper. You do have to trim the decals before application though, as they're printed on a whole sheet. You could also try www.archertransfers.com/. Some of theirs are dry transfers - remember Letraset? You could also try www.skytrex.com/176th-20mm-scale-vehicle_c5917.aspx - albeit they're UK based. They do a great range and are 1/72 scale - not that there is much difference. I hope that helps!! All the best. Andrew

Thanks, didn't find the Aleran Mini's in my search. No problem. I get the impression Aleran Mini's is one man operation. I had a query about one of the sheets and got a response direct from the owner himself. All of my contact with them has been first class and everything I've ordered so far has come through in less than a week even though it had to cross the Atlantic.
