WATERLINE DECALS

FLASH - these are now available in a new production run at AMP main site

As a SPECIAL BONUS, some kits include WATERLINE DECALS. These are waterslide decals of the white markings used to indicate loading (fully laden boats sat deep in the water, empty boats with low fuel and few torps rode high).
