Need ideas for Kriegsmarine Flags

[jew0312]

Hi All.

I am new to ship modelling after spending roughly 20 years in the aircraft and automotive modeling areas.

I have a 1:72 Revell U-boat as well as a 1:350 Tamiya Bismark on the bench. What I am needing is some guidance as to where I can find the proper markings for flags for both ships, seeing as how nobody prints flags with swastikas anymore.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, the way I usually do is to get some very thin paper (in), and a good colour printer (or a friend who has one, in my case my buddy with a color laser printer). In photoshop/paint shop pro/corel draw/whatever graphic program you like make some high-res (at least 600 dpi) designs and then just print it. Alternatively you can always print your page for something like 1 euro per page, however its not good to print swastikas in a copy shop....

If you are not averse to ordering from the UK, try these guys.

Alternatively, look for a local supplier of BECC flags
