Status: offline 		Can anybody tell me where I can purchase the decals that go on the side of .50 cal ammo boxes? I've seen these on some 1/16 models.

Also, does anybody have a method for picking out the very fine letting on 1/16 .50 and .30 cal ammo boxes ...ie a very very small paint roller?? I can barely SEE it let alone "paint" it. My hands just ain't that steady!!

Works fine for me when I paint scrolls and other things for my 28mm warhammer miniatures. Looks great with some distance, but if you look real close you can see it's not letters, but when you drive the tank your not up close so I'd say it would work fine
Good luck!

Dry brushing is your best bet. That's the only way for you to paint those tiny raised details, without individually painting them.

The great thing about dry brushing is it doesn't take a steady hand, or a very keen eye sight. All it takes is a few minutes of practice.

Status: offline 		It looks like the Peddinghaus decal sets for the Korea Pershing have the yellow decals for the .50 cal ammo cans... I'm not sure how the Euro translates to US bucks [or Canadian], but Tamiyas decal sets look a lot more expensive.

Here's a link...

Status: online 		Not to worry, that's what I am sending Paul . I've found the Peddinghaus decals to be of a good quality.
