I have a few ideas for large sheets:
For WW II vehicles:
1) USMC and Seabee Pacific theatre vehicles.
2) How about some of the lesser-known (in terms of available markings) German armored, artillery and assault units?
For post-WWII US vehicles:
1) a wide variety of the coded ID rectangles (tan background with black stenciling) seen on front and rear of US vehicles. This would allow much flexibility in terms of which division/battalion/company/ serial number, etc. a modeler could choose.
2) Here is an unusual idea: what about a wide variety of both colors and shapes for the 5% areas used on MERDC-camo'd vehicles? If memory serves there are 13 colors in the MERDC system. On the actual vehicles, the 5% areas were either hand painted or spray painted. The 45% areas are a snap to airbrush, but I have a heck of a time trying to airbrush these small shaped areas for a realistic scale appearance. Perhaps representations of both application methods would be helpful.
I would certainly purchase at least one of each if available.
My two schillings worth,
Matt Riesmeyer |
