Not sure where they can be bought but it is possible to make your own if you own an inkjet printer. You’ll need to purchase some water slide decal paper first. This comes in either clear or white. As you can’t print white, if the insignia that you want to make has any white in it, go for the white decal paper.

Here’s what I’m talking about:

You should then be able to find the relevant insignia on the internet. Download the image and paste it into a word or google doc. Image quality doesn’t need to be perfect as you’re printing to 15mm scale, so anything too small you won’t really see anything that is lower quality.

You can then size the image in the document. I find this a little trial and error to get the right size and always test print on normal paper first before I commit to using the decal paper. Once you’re happy, add plenty of the insignia into the doc and print away.

Once printed, you need to seal the printed side of the decal paper with a spray varnish. It should then work just like any other decal!
