SCW flags HELP

[John Watson]

I recently decided I needed more flags, so I went Minairons, naturally. However since Brexit the postal charges have rocketed. The effect was to make a £5 order cost £12.
So I have various solutions.
1. Go without
2. Stomach the cost
3. Does anyone have any surplus flags that they would sell me?
4. Does anyone know where I can buy flags in the UK?
5. Does anyone want flags from Minairons so that we could share the postal charges?
Answers on a postcard please.

The Minairons flags are really good and worth the money I am sure.

I have sheets of flags that I have made up and can print off for you John. They are paper and would need to be folded and glued.
I may have just what you need.
Which army are you doing?
I can print them off and post them to you.

This applies to other members here too.

save image from a google search and self print. That's where most of my flags come from. Free apart from the cost of paper and ink.

Try https://www.flagsofwar.com/

They are out of scale but nothing that a scan and resize can't cope with. Also, in line with most other commercial products forget the "Sample", "Company Name" or whatever across the product shown there is enough detail available to let you create your own, in paint, from the requisite parts. I don't say this to damage sales as much as preserve wallets!

Maybe oversized but cheap!

Pendraken have 10mm.

The Square does 15mm SCW of various types but doesn't have a website

John,

Were there any Minairons flags in particular that you were looking for?

Simon I was going to get the Moroccan flags, the women's and Falangists.

Ah - sorry, John, I don't have any of those.

Hello John

I can supply those if you like, although you might prefer the other suggestions?
I don't know what the women's flag is, say more.

If you want me to go ahead just e mail me.
Otherwise the other suggestions would probably be great too.

Hi John,

I understand your unwillingness to place an order whose postage amounts so much if compared to the items wanted themselves.
However, I would still insist for you to explore one of those two options:

1) Ordering from me something --anything-- else making your P&P costs more reasonable. Some armour or softskin vehicle would be great, for instance.

2) Asking McKeeman Models in Scotland to provide you with what you need, even in the case those items aren't in their current listings. Maybe it's worth the try.

Best regards,
Lluís

Thanks to everyone for your helpful suggestions.
