USAAF, c.1946 decals 1:48 needed for captured Shinden project

[W Humble]

I need some USAAF decals in 1:48 scale, preferably the 'star and bar -- without the red line' style, c. 1946 for my Kyusu Shinden 'captured enemy aircraft flight'.  I haven't done a/c kits since the 'fifties, but this double project has me excited.   Will probably wind up as a diorama display, too, though a simple on of an airport ramp.

As mentioned earlier, I'm using resin-castings fo a J-47 engine to make two 'apocryphal' jet interceptor developments with it and the also canard Curtiss P-55 Ascender kits.  Half-way there, and not bad, so far!  They are both awesome looking planes, and designesthat probably deserved to have the further development with turbine-type power.  For the Shinden, mostly I just need the wing and fuselage insignae.  I have a sheet of Luftwaffe decals, pretty new, to swap from an Arado kit, I believe, complete and in nice condition. 

As it usually goes, I was at the IPMS shot in Yuba City CA two months ago, and one friendly vendor was selling complete sheets of many kinds for as low as one buck a pop!  "When my ship came in, I was waiting at the airport" as the Ziggy cartoon said.  At least these will ship in first-class envelopes!  Anyone help me out?  :-<)  Wick  Chico, CA

Thank, Mike.  I was kinda hoping to swap for a sheet, though.  :-<)  Wick

By "red line" do you mean the red outline or the red bar? I probably have a couple of decal sets around from the old F4U-5N Hobby Boss kit which would be late in the right era but would have the red bar.

Like these

Although it looks like just about any WW2 insignia would cover the 1946 version.

I'd be glad to swap the Luftwaffe sheet (Blohm & Voss P 194, Revell Ger. 1997) which is about all the a/c I have not otherwise committed for some wing/fuselage emblems.  I wouldn't need the rest. :-<)  This sheet is about 4x5", but doesn't appear to be cracked.

I'd forgotten about the 'red line' around the border motif!  I haven't built an a/c model since the 'fifties, but looking at and judging the stuff in IPMS and Yuba City chapter show, I was impressed with what's done nowadays!!  My two 'canards' are moving along well enough; lots of liberty taken with the jet conversions, but they are apocryphal (always misspell that one!) anyhow.  I left a/c, ship and armor when I discovered 3-in1 customizing kits about 9th grade, in 1959!  I couldn't drive yet, much less afford a car -- much less customize one -- so AMT/SMP/JoHan/Revell came to my rescue!  Thanks!  Wick   

If you want to swap, pls PM me your address?
