Swastika-decals?

I have just started building a model of Tirpitz. But I have just discovered that the dacals are "wrong". There ar no swasticas. Just some lame crosses.
I want my model to be as accurate as possible.
Does anybody know where I can get such decals?
My modelkit is a Heller 1:400.

Years ago, I was a fairly serious modeler of the Luftwaffe. There are a vast number of swastica decals for Luftwaffe model aircraft - including several that are about the right size for your need. One decal manufacturer I could suggest is MicroScale (US), but there are many others. Check some of the big model hobby supply stores that are on line - such as Squadron in Dallas. They carry tons of decals.

Good luck.

Good luck on your hunt!

I was a visitor to Norway for the first time in 2004, but did not make it much north of Geiranger. We definitely plan a return to your beautiful country - I'd like to go clear up to Nordkapp on one of the coastal ships to experience it all - including Narvik, Tromso, Alta, etc.

I can highly recommend a journey on one of the coastalships. Espescially on the spring/summer. Its quite expensive, but its a beautiful journey!

Ciao all,

I cannot agree more with Stud about the fact that Norway is quite expensive

Unbelievable expensive,.... for a ferry trip ( Hurtigruten ) from Trondheim to Harstad I spent a fortune,... a very beutiful trip,.. but,... it cost way too much.

Sailing on the same KM warships tracks is expensive today

.

Norway is a vey expensive country,.... very expensive,.. airplanes, food, transportations, hotels,...... everything is very expensive,......

Better to take a camper,.. load it with foods,.. and spend 4 weeks driving around,... slowly,.... very slowly,... it is full of radar controls all the way thru,.. so be very careful driving, .....

Ciao Antonio
