Echelon has a new range of markings for the Ukrainian conflict, which appear to cover both sides. There are also some decals for US units in Iraq.

This is the best timing. The 101AD markings for Mosul are exactly what I need for my current HUMVEE build. Fantastic news. Does Echelon give enough markings in their sets for just one of each scheme?

I guess I should have looked at the entire image. It shows enough markings for two vehicles. I am excited beyond words!

I would think the markings are enough for all the illustrated vehicles in the Humvee set in particular. The markings for 101st had an extra pair for a second vehicle (some of the vehicles had the chevrons split further from numbers. Hope that answers your question. For the BM-21 set, some are options between similarly marked vehicles (you have to choose, as there are only one set of black eagles and also the white ones).

I received mine...excellent set. I did have one question on the M1A2 SEP v2 sheet. One of the subjects has a barrel name that says "Catalina Nine Mixer". Shouldn't it read "Catalina Wine Mixer" like in Step Brothers? Or is it a play on words that I am missing? I can't make out the picture on the actual one. The good thing is if it is incorrect, it's an easy fixe because there are generic letters of the correct size and style on the sheet.

Here is a pic of it. There seems to be some kind of drawing on the barrel that isn't on the sheet, but I can't tell what it is. Looks like a cartoon dinosaur head or something.
