Need advice on buying decals, PE, ref books, etc.

After several years, make that decades, I decided to get back into aircraft. Mostly WW 2 and early jets. Can someone recommend a few sources for aftermarket decals, reference material, and the like. I have the Hasegawa 1/32 P 47 (want seatbelts and decals) and Trump SBD 5 ( looking to replace kit decals).

Any tips would be appreciated. I know where to go on the web for automotive and ship modeling but not aircraft.

SprueBrothers and ScaleHobbyist both have superior selection, pricing and, above all, customer service.

ScaleHobbyist has a terrific search engine on its web site. SprueBrothers’ customer service is the absolute best. I’d start with them first.

Good lick and welcome back.

Squadron.com is a good one too but I`ve recently heard complaints about their shipping times. Worth a look IMO.

Squadron and SprueBros are the best!! And quick too. Also LuckyModel is a good one as well.

For decals try Afterburner Decals, Fightertown Decals, and TwoBobs.

For resin besides the above you can try Royal Resin and TwoMikes.
