Have you ever tried to paint markings on M18 Smoke Grenades? Mario Matijasic did. No matter how hard he tried, the results were always far from perfect. Printing decals was not an option since very few printers actually print white. Mario was stuck... until this set came along. This is the review of Arms Corps Models incredibly useful accessory set: Decals for M18 Smoke, CS Gas and Thermite Grenades in 1/35 scale.

Great review! Sadly, the 1/35 smoke grenades aren't easily available. Only some DML and Verlinden sets have them in 1/35 scale. Hopefully, someone will make 1/35 smoke grenades as aftermarket items, in addition to other handheld grenades for that matter. Thanks for the review!

Great decals.

Trisaw, several of the Vietnam era stowage sets (M113, Sheridan, etc.) from Legend contain about a dozen smoke grenades each.

Yes, that's where I got those decals from. I only had couple of Dragon ones in plastic, but these resin ones from Legend stowage sets my friend donated were far supperior.

Ditto on Legend. They give you a bunch of them in their Pink Panther upgrade. In fact, if you get just the stowage set, you get a lot of really cool kit not often found in other sets.

There is a great article in one of the recent Model Military International magazines http://modelmilitary.com/files/2013/05/Cover-MMI-086-424x600.jpg showing how these decals were used on the Young Miniatures Hue Marine RTO bust
