Brazilian Navy Decals 1/72

[Mossie]

Anyone know where I can get hold of 1/72 Brazilian Navy decals?  There for a WWII period build, but I could probably adapt others.  If not, Brazilian Air Force will do.  I've seen a few sets in 1/48 but not in 1/72. FCM do some Air Force P-40 sheets but only their P-47 sheet is available in Hannants.  Anyone know any other suppliers?

Cheers!

Mossie the Zotz S America sheet has modern Brazilian markings

I've used the FCM P-47 sheet. It's ok but the you apply the transfers and then remove a "top surface" - bit fiddly

Are you just after the Brazilian National markings ?

simon,

the most recent boxing of the airfix navy lynx has markings for a brazilian navy
variant.

i am not aware of any sheets with WW2 brazilian AF markings on, but i have seen
a few profiles. one was in the SAMI feature on the douglas boston recently and before
that it was a P-47 years ago.

afaik, brazilian P-47's served in italy during WW2 after 1943 methinks.

Cheers guys!  Chris, I hadn't thought of the Zotz sheet, I might pick one up as it'd be handy to have some decals of various nations as my bank seems to be mostly UK markings with a few US thrown in.

Trev, the Airfix Lynx sheet is what inspired me & I've still got them (I built it a couple of years ago to see if I still had a taste for modelling) but it's only got two roundels, I'd need at least four & although useable, they're not the best quality.  I could be convinced to add a Lynx to my stash though, it's a nice kit but it'd give me more ideas for a complex build....  arrrggghhh!

The Brazilian Navy's air arm's markings haven't changed since they were established so I'm safe there, but I preferably wanted the 'MARINHA' & anchor markings in white but I'll guess black will have to do.  To be honest, I'm not even sure they were on wartime aircraft as I can't find any references, only Air Force, but what the hell!

From what I can gather the Brazilian Air Force, they were usually assigned to US units using US equipment, in a similar way to foreign units in the RAF.  Markings were usually painted right over the top of the US ones, so I'm going for a similar approach with the Navy.  From what I can gather, the Brazilian Navy only had a few Coastal Defence ships during WWII, so I might end up going for Air Force anyway!
