Hello Whiffers,

Not specifically asking you for them, I have 1/144 models of Kingfisher and Seahawk floatplanes, an HO3S helo, and a SH-2 helo. (All the aircraft specifically assigned to USS New Jersey.
(Yes, she landed many other aircraft but these are the specific assigned. Yes, I've modeled the others in 1/700. I picked 1/144 because I found them 3d printed so I don't have to build and they take up less space without being too small for details.  What's with all the questions?)

Can you point me for sources for decals for such?

The seaplanes seem to have had simple, generic markings, nothing unit specific, so generic late-war USN aircraft decals will work - stars and bars, red stripe for prop warning, et alia.

The helos on the other hand were quite busy.

Thanks,
Joe
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.
