These look great.

Nice. However, for anyone doing the large tactical numbers I’d suggest not using those decals. They’re fine, and look good, but in real life they’re made either from gaffer’s tape or hundred mile an hour tape. I like to use Chartpak tape, painted green if necessary. It just gives a better look.
I’ve emailed the company - not about that, but about something else.

Looks good. Hoping for some SOCOM M-ATV markings too for both MARSOC and US Army especially for the ones in camo.

Hmmm.

The non-taped “clean” unit markings are included too as options for those that prefer to do DIY options for the tape portions.

It’s nice to see some “individualistic” markings. Better than plain-old CARC (or whatever they call it these days) Tan and some small black stencils.

Do you have a ballpark of when they might hit the streets that you can share?

Next month or early next, Cartograf doesn’t know if they’ll get printed before their holiday break.

Example of the tape being used for the tactical numbers. Not on an M-ATV, this is on an M1165 GMV.
You can see the tape lifting on the “C” and the “7”.
In this image, you can see the tape overlaid on the top, center and bottom horizontal sections of the “B”.

Exactly why I like to use Chartpak tape.

I’d like to see additions, like the paperwork often duct taped to the sides of vehicle, which is typically done when shipping vehicles.
Is the often-forgotten little detail on modern vehicles.

I was just thinking about that the other day - it would be great to see a set of decals like white paper with duct tape surrounds and those orange envelopes of shipping information. Also PMCS logs (which were green folders in my day) and binders full of documents.

Again, Chartpak tape. I have done that with tuff boxes - Chartpak tape, a little cellophane…

Like this one.
And these are mainly generic, so they can be used on any kind of modern American AFV.

Yep, and at any scale I think they would be impossible to read (hell half the time something is wrong with it, and it is unreadable anyways)
