Hey guys, a question, where can I find some WWII era roundels for the FAA (Pacific), RAAF, RAN, and RNZAF in 1/72 scale?  I know the Aussies used standard British markings until after the war and those are easy to find but not the SEA roundels and fin flashes (Dark Blue and Light Blue).

I've been combing the normal internet shops and the pickin's are slim to none...  Most sheets are sold out and/or been discontinued.  I don't relish having to buy a huge sheet just to use one set of the markings.  Does anyone make any sheets dedicated to any of the above services?  I know I can always resort to homemade decals but the "white" is always an issue without an ALPS  :banghead:

Any help is appreciated as always gents, thanks in advance.

Check out the ebay store Novascale:

They have a whole bunch of markings for Aussie and Kiwi aircraft form different time periods. I've used them before with good results. They're ALPS printed and very nice quality.

I recently bought some white backing patches for those occasional semi transparent white decals you sometimes come across. How about using something like that for the white part. Make up your decals on your clear decal stock then apply over one of the white patches, should work. Here is where I bought the patches from.

Hi

The Tasman/Ventura Decals range have Kiwi Roundels.

Try contacting: http://www.modelcraftsandhobbies.co.nz/?page=shop/index&

Aeroclub Models has a SEAC 'Roundel and Bar' sheet, but due to a death in the organisation the site is currently unavailable... so probably not a whole lot of help...

Anyhow, hope the above is of some use.

Cheers
