I have several 1/18 scale Jeeps that I want to repaint and mark. Who or what do you use for the Markings? I don't want to repaint, until I have decals to mark them up.
Thanks in advance for any guidance or assistance!

Re: Repainting and Marking 1/18 Jeeps?
Hey Jack,
I just went on ebay and I searched 1/16 scale jeep decals and pulled up a whole bunch of decal sets.
!/16 is larger than 1/18 but I think that they would work.
If the 1/16 sized decals are about 2 cm or 20 mm ( about 3/4 inch ) that would be about 17.7 mm aprx. 1/8th of an inch smaller.
If the decals were even smaller they would be about 1 mm different.
You could not see the difference at all.

I agree with Pickel, and if you like the ones on ebay from Peddinghaus, you can contact them directly and Ernst has been willing to scale them to 1:18 for me. It does cost more as a one - off request. The decals I used on the KDF kubelwagen were 1:16 on a 1:18 Beetle and I think they turned out well.

Thanks to you both on this! I see that they have different serial numbers available on these sheets from Peddinghaus too, so that is a help to. I also have an M-5A1 to get marked up as well. Thanks again Gentlemen!
