Tools, Techniques, and Reference Materials Decaling

looking for generic 1/144 decals for ww2 Fletcher class destroyer. Doing a conversion so the kit decals wont work. Was hoping not to have to try producing my own. I have been looking but can’t seem to find any. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance

IIRC, you’re working on the USS Trathen (DD530), correct?

Hawk Graphics makes a set of 1:144 USN WWII hull numbers, draft marks, jacks, ensigns, & aircraft markings which will fill the bill.

And before you ask about the lettering for the name … during WWII the welded-on letters which spelled out the ship’s name were painted over. If you absolutely have to have them, get a set of rub-on letters in the appropriate scale (IIRC they are 6 inches tall). Apply them, then overpaint with the hull color so that they just appear as subtlely raised.

You can deal with Darren Scannell of Hawk. Good fellow.
