Hey again! We’re back for the final set of monthly historical decals for the year, one for each nation.

We thought “FOR SALE” would be fun too, this one was painted on a landing craft, and while we primarily want to include markings that were placed on playable vehicles we have in the game, we thought this one would have some fun applications, thanks for submitting it on the forum! We check the suggestions regularly, so make sure to keep posting decals there!
