Global Scale Modeller

Hi all

I'm having trouble finding US ammo crate decals like these

All I can find are these https://www.historexagents.com/shop/hxp ... de=AR77009 which are for the metal boxes or so they appear.

Anyone know where I can find the type I'm looking for?

Same answer again my go to decal company for this would be Archer Fine Transfers from the US.

http://www.archertransfers.com/AR35307.html Is their set for US WW II AMMO Crates, Tins and magazines.

Their UK dealers are Historex Agents, SB Models and DCC Supplies Ltd.

Hope this helps you out Kevin,

Paul

Hi Paul

The link I posted above is Historex and they're are Archers, they're what I need for the ammo boxes but not for the crates/wooden boxes, in the picture the ammo boxes come in.

modern markings

Hi Digger thanks for that mate. The first link is for modern and the second 25pounder.

As I said above I've found what I need for the metal ammo boxes, what I need is the decals for the wooden crates the ammo boxes came in just like in the picture these have ammo shapes in the middle of the wording. Here's other pictures showing them on a model so they do exist or did somewhere.

yes I tried ...can get German OK, but USA not so easy although I did think I had seen them somewhere. However I looked though my book marks and googled and couldn't find anything.

Same here, just can't find them!

not exactly what you want, but maybe useful........http://www.firestormmodels.com/store/pr ... =28&page=1

has lots of different decals that might apply to crates.....http://cdn1.bigcommerce.com/n-ou1isn/ij ... 80.jpg?c=2

This set has box decals, but maybe wrong era......http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bravo6-1-35- ... 1935689262

I give up.....you may have to print your own

Hi Digger

Thanks for that mate the second link Hudson & Allen have apparently gone out of business! I've searched trying to find a shop with stock but no luck it's so bloody frustrating, it really is the whole build is now on hold I'm waiting on a set of fury decals for the M4 from Poland like a twit I added a few other bits the the order as it was cheaper than buying in the UK, those bits are out of stock should be in this week. Ever tried to explain you need just part of the order now and send the rest later in Polish............ To be fair he's doing his best, more worrying he's not answered my email of this week asking if my order has been dispatched I finally got the tow cable and paint for the canvas now I've hit another with these decals I can't seal and start weathering until I've got all the above.

So I'll start the figures from Bravo 6 Fury me thinks, they took a month or so to find but finally got all 5, then my CA dries up reorder got the stuff on Wednesday I ordered an AK face painting set same time. Get told today there out of stock reorder from another shop be next week now

I feel for you

I have this site bookmarked, Hope it is of use, I don't have time to root through them all, sorry!

Bump just knocking this back to the top just in case someone knows where I can get hold of them, this is stopping the build to some extent!

this is the only markings for wooden ammo boxes I could find.

Me too mate I'm joining this forum http://www.network54.com/Forum/47208/me ... +set(fury)

The model has the transfers hopefully I'll get an answer!

let us know if you have any luck. I'll get some myself

Will do mate.

One of the Tamiya Shermans has the K rations decals. The kit comes with stowage and 3 US infantry figures.

EDIT - just realised you're not after the K rations decals.

Sorry mate

Sorry mate

Thanks for trying mate, it's just the wooden ammo crate decals I've got everything else now even the hull decals.

If you were willing to buy the boxes just to get the decals, how about these on ebay?

http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Legend-Productio ... SwkZhWSrIw

I have just placed an order for the legends ammo boxes as above. I can let you know what they are like.
plus some other stuff...prices not bad

AC35G06 King Tiger AUD4.86
AC35A103 Side stowage bins doors for Sd.Kfz.251,Ausf.D&Sd.Kfz.250 “Noe” AUD4.86
AC35A97 Rear Large Fuel Tanks T34/76 AUD7.32 1 AUD7.32
AC35179 Sd.Kfz.162 JagdpanzerIVA-0-Vol.2-add. Set-fenders AUD10.40
LF1296 M1917 50 Cal. Ammo Crate AUD14.50

I found another set which has ammo box with markings and tank crew which may be suitable.

That might be taking it a step far, however when you get the gold medal an acknowledgement would be fine ............

Order them this morning, I can when I receive them start the build again
