[WWI] Sources for Lozenge decals (72)

[Scott.Janney at urs.org]

Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry about the Techmod decals.  Not
really the answers I was hoping for but, that's the way it is.  This will
save me the aggravation of making a purchase that in the long run I would
be disappointed with.  If they are difficult to work with and the colors
aren't right then I think I'll pass.

Again, Thanks much
Scott,

I've got some Techmod 1/48 Lozenge, but I haven't really tried it yet.  My
experiences with their ot decals doesn't give me a real warm fuzzy feeling.
I've found them to be a confounding combination of thin, stiff and
translucent.  On ot subjects I tend to use their nose art and maybe
serials, but get stencils and isignia from other sources.

Others may have other ideas though.

 Hello all,

 My supply of German lozenge decals in 72 scale is just about depleted.
 With A/G no longer around and as far as I can tell Eagle Strike is no
 longer producing lozenge decals (although it looks like the 5 color uppers
 are still available) I'm looking for another source (short of spending my
 vacation allowance to purchase some from Pegasus).
 Doing a quick search I have come across some 4 and 5 color upper and lower
 lozenge decals by a company called Techmod (out of Poland). I'm curious if
 anyone from the list has any experiance with these decals and if so, would
 you recommend them (or are they junk)?
 This may be a stop gap until another company comes along to fill the void
 left by the demise of A/G and Eagle Strike but as I've got some future
 builds coming up that require lozenge camouflage I'd like to replenish my
 stock.
 Thanks much in advance, as always I appreciate any and all information.

 Take care
 Scott
