Hi folks, I took the plunge into model aircraft this week and purchased 3 1/72 kits of some of my fave WWI birds;
- Mac distribution / LFG Roland D VIb
- Roden / Albatros D.II
- Eastern Express' / Hansa Brandenburg W-29
The HB W-29 comes with naval lozenge{looks nice enough}, but the other two planes don't, where can I find 1/72 scale lozenge for these?


Thanks - Bob

Hello Dave , Techmod makes them in 72 scale and if you can find some superscale decals (OOP) they have them . Go over to Hyperscale in the plane trading forum . Thats where I was able to get my . One sheet of upper and lower will be enough to do two aircraft . You just need to know if you need the four colour or five color . However the Albatros D.II didn't have Lozenge on it's wings at all .

Great Model web store sells the Techmod decals along with rib tapes . I think there is other manufactures who produce them but can't recall !

Thanks Terri, I'll pop over to GM in a little bit and search for them.......just currious though, how'd I get to be renamed "dave"?!

Thanks again - "Bob"

Hi Bob -

I second Teri's suggestion and would also recomend that you also check with Roll Models, or Sprue Brothers as well.


Don't take it personally Bob. Teri talks to all the guys...after awhile, it's all a blur..

Thanks for the input...GM only had one set of 4 color uppers and a 5 color lower{or something like that}...I'll check SB and roll...
...and as far as being called the wrong name...I've been called worse!
