Does anyone know of any aftermarket 1/48 Polish Karas decals available? I picked up the Mirage kit with the commemorative coin - and it only has on decal option! I know Techmod has a 1/72 sheet - but can't seem to find any Polish ones in 1/48.

Any help or advice is appreciated!

Shame on you Morgan, you don't read the site carefully... Ok, now seriously. It's really a problem to find any decals for this kit. I know only about the set of Techmod decals mentioned in this NEWS. Montex makes the masks for painting the canopy and that's all what I know. There is much wider choice for 1:72 scale.

The 1/72 scale decals are for the old Heller kit. Previous releases of the 1/48 Mirage kit have pretty well covered most of the well known machines so there is probably little insentive for Techmod to release a decal sheet in that scale.

You will have to find someone that can give you the left over decals from one of the other releases of the kit.

The Techmod sheet in the news is only for Rumanian examples. It was probably released as a respose to the MMP book on Rumanian camouflage.

Thanks guys - somehow I knew it... I guess that's the trade off for getting the brass coin!
