Decal question

Greetings all,
I recently purchased and built the new 1/48 BMD-2 from Honourable lead boiler suit company , which is part of their growing line of modern resin vehicles.My question is where I might obtain Modern Russian markings? These little kits are very well designed and mine came without any noticable flaws which made assembly a breeze. Don't be fooled by the fact that these are designed with wargamers in mind , they are better detailed then some of the kits out there, and very reasonably priced. Any help finding after market decals for these kits would be of great assistance as I plan to build their BTR-70 next and it will need marking as well.
Thanks for any advice or recommendations.
Derek

Decal Printing Paper

If your search comes up empty, have a look at printable decal paper. You can get both waterslide and dry-rub. The waterslide paper requires you to varnish it first, whereas the dry-rub is just a film you put over it. Of course, if your markings have white in them, it gets a bit tricky as you have to use white paper and cut around it. Bright colours such as yellow and red work best on white paper as well.

They offer a 1/48 scale Cadillac Gage Stingray and an SAS Landrover too.

And they appear to be 1/48...

Although listed as 40mm, the trend at HLBS is to target 1/48 scale now.
