WW 2 German aircraft codes

[richard m schwab]

Friends i need some help. I have 5 144 scale Minicraft He-111 i am building. These have only one decal choice, i am look looking a source for the individual plane codes. If nothing else some recommendations for a good print font to use.
I can only mix them on 5 planes.:(

Rich, I bought some WW2 fighter decals from 1/144 Directs E-bay shop and they were Ok

They are not exactly what you are asking for but they are a starting point for enquiries

Be warned though some of the decals I have bought were 1/160 not 1/144, so ask some questions before you buy
also the last purchase I recieved were damaged because they were not packed well enough, Its OK I recieved a refund, but I do have a bunch of cracked and unusable RAF markings in my collection.

Trevor Most of decals he sell comes from the USA. The one work great for me is in 1:285 scale. I did find some at the link below.

Rich,

Go to microscale.com. They make the decals for trains, but I use them for my WW2 1/200 scale and WW1 1/144 scale aircraft.

Thanks Carl i ordered some of the True North decals last night. The link for the German codes is great thank you. That will help in finishing this project. I also have two Me-1101s and a JU-88 to build so that info comes in real handy!
Thank you again!
