I mean the one you don't have to make up swastika out of 20 different pieces? Thanks for watching Mick Don't know if I am too late , but you are better to get the BECC Fabric Flag ( type AAA is 10mm long ) - or if you want it a bit bigger then its Type AA ( 15mm ) http://www.becc.co.uk/ there is a website list for their suppliers - if you need help PM me - but I used their Flag for the Yukikaze and its a beauty ( far better than a decal and you can flutter it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 No still didn't get any. My mate is going to send me some decal ones out of AFV U-boots along with the PE fret this thing is waiting for Have you any nice close ups of those? To be honest all the fabric ones I've seen to up date were weak, grain/knot or whatever you call it was way to big for the scale.... but I wouldn't mind being proven wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73north Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 here you go , 1/350 scale , and the flag is only 10mm long ( Type AAA ) note - the photo was taken with a macro lens , in real life ( you will have to just trust me - or not ) the ' fabric weave ' can't be seen with the naked eye I would say , this is well worth your effort buying , rather than a Decal ) or Photo-etch ) - but the choice is , of course , yours ..... kind regards David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Well Yuki looks nice, are there any more pictures of it somewhere on the forum? As for the ensign, for me that's no-go you can get far better result with decal on the tin foil. There's no fabric weave whatsoever and you can form even very 'radical' shapes Thanks for advice anyway, it's always better to know more than less Edited August 31, 2017 by Michael M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73north Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Okay , for me the BECC Flag is good enough - but not for you - not a problem ......... good luck on your search for an ultimate ensign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 No need to get upset Dave, I just think that result like here is more satisfactory. Same scale, made of decal on tin foil: I'm not looking for ultimate one, I'm looking for ANY decal one 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Looking for something else and came across these.... smallest 5mm which at 1/350 = 6' Any good for you? http://www.becc.co.uk/contents/en-uk/d18.html Kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 These are self adhesive vinyl ones, while they have no fabric weave, they're thick like plywood... I will get them AFV ones so hopefully that will solve the problem, if not... we'll worry about it then. But i do appreciate your rescue attempts I just taught someone would have some leftovers knocking about. That probably will be my last nazi ship for a loooong time, so I don't really need 50 of them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 1 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Decals on foil is fairly easy to make up and surprisingly effective. I tried it on my last ship build and had good results (similar to your rather excellent White Ensign in the photo above).

Michael M Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Thanks, they're North Star Kriegsmarine ones, but I've used them for K.U.K. Marine as well, with the size of them, it doesnt really matter, as long as you paint them in the right colours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris B Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Those figures it was a challenge - good job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 1 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 This is an excellent build all round, but those figures really set it off - makes it look big like a real ship as the detail of the figures give it all a really good scale effect. You've set a high standard of detail here, cap badges and all, but also thoughtfully positioned the crew in small groups where you might expect them to be. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
