My solution for magnetic carriers and fighters

Looks like Tumbling Dice 1/600 scale aircraft are a decent option to fill any aircraft holes. But they run a little small, more Classic fighter size than the current A&A fighters. And for fighters, cost competitive with HBG. Twin engined heavy fighters like the PE-2, and the Ki-45 are a good match to the OOB P-38, but smaller than the OOB Mosquito.

@CWO-Marc said in HISTORICAL DECALS for American Carriers.:

{snip}
CV-4, Ranger, was America’s first purpose-built carrier, and was twice as fast as Langley, but was about 10,000 tons smaller than the Yorktown class, and as I recall most or all of her WWII service was in the Atlantic/Mediterranean theatre, against two countries (Germany and Italy) with no operational fleet carriers in their navies.

Admiral King, the chief of the US Navy during World War II, wanted to refit the Ranger and send her to the Pacific. When his staff told him that the refit would cost just as much as a new-build Essex-class carrier, he changed his mind. The Ranger would be the only US carrier that was in commission on December 7th, 1941, to not face the Japanese Navy in World War II. Of course, not facing the Japanese Navy in no way prevented the Ranger from seeing action in World War II, just in the North African and European theaters.

I used to have an income tracker like this - but I’d love to see a whole game! :)

@wartorn:

A good do it yourself remedy since the market is super dry with them right now

And who knows when more will ever become available again.

After watching DK’s video- yes, we have the 2mm magnets.  Edit to add: we’ve actually used the 1/16 x 1/32 magnets available from http://www.primalhorizon.com/products.php.  The magnets are their most popular product right now and the link takes you right to them.

Damn……they are excellent.

Hey all, new to the Axis and Allies forums and to customizing my ships. I apologize if this was answered elsewhere, but how do I size these carrier decals down to fit my ships? They look much bigger, and I’m assuming I need to arrange them onto a photoshopped page of some sort?

As a side note, i’m curious if anyone has made country symbols on a handy one piece sheet with all the countries included so that I can print out one set and decal up my whole set of models. I’m not sure if they have them in a 6mm size, or 8mm size etc.

If not I might have to try this on my own, but I didn’t want to recreate work someone else has already done.

Richard,

@Maofator:

Looking good Mr Johnson!
––Yes,…VERY NICE!
Although I’ve told you in person I realize I’d overlooked giving you some well deserved public acclaim. Your "stickers"are a novel approach and look very crisp and clean. Let’s talk further on the project I’d discussed with you earlier. Again,…Wel Done!
