Repeated intro
Hey everyone! We’re back with some more authentic decals for you to unlock in April, we hope you liked the March collection. We have quite an eclectic mix of decals this month, with some rare and some popular emblems. China’s overlimit sign had a lot of requests so we’ve added that one in, and we’re happy to return possibly the most American-looking emblem of all time with the Eagle Troop stencil, one can seldom look at it without feeling the need to utter a stoic yeehaw. As always please keep dropping your suggestions for more emblems on the forum, we routinely look through those to see what we can work into the monthly events. Enjoy collecting!

51ª Squadriglia Emblem, “Cave Adsum”
Emblem of 51ª Squadriglia, 39° Gruppo Bombardamento Terrestre, 38° Stormo Bombardamento Terrestre (51st Squadron, 39th Land Bombing Group, 38th Land Bombing Wing), Regia Aeronautica. This seldom-seen marking of the 51st Squadron appears only briefly while the squadron was stationed in Albania in the summer of 1941. There is limited context behind the origin of the marking, though both squadrons under the 39th group (the 51st and 69th) featured a similar emblem, though documentation is limited. The inscription, “Cave Adsum”, translates as “Beware, I am here” and is first documented as the motto of the Scottish Clan Jardine. There is likely no direct link between the squadron and this clan, as it was generally typical for Italian squadrons to borrow dramatic Latin or classic phrases for their mottos and emblems. This emblem was not universally applied to the bombers of the squadron, appearing on one BR.20M, number 3. It was painted on the outsides of the tail near the top, towards the front edge.
2./Le.Lv.12 Emblem
The emblem of 2. Lentue Lentolaivue 12 (No. 12 Squadron, 2nd Flight), Finnish Air Force. No. 12 Squadron was a relatively small reconnaissance unit active from the start of the Winter War. It operated a handful of outdated types, including the Gloster Gladiator, Hawk 75A, and, chiefly, the Fokker D.XXI. Between 1942 and 1943 during the Continuation War, the Fokkers of the squadron featured this emblem, a donkey giving a scrutinous side-eye, preparing a kick. Finnish Air Force markings during wartime often had a humorous or comical throughline to them, with the donkey being a classic example. It was painted on the Fokker fighters of the 2nd Flight on both sides of the fuselage, just in front of the cockpit.

“Super Over-Limit” Sign
“Super Over-Limit” Sign (超级超限), PLA. A fairly common sight for PLA AFVs in transit, this sign is often seen in various forms pasted on a wide variety of armored vehicles. Effectively, this is a cargo designator for railway shipping, noting that the object (vehicle, in this case) is over the standard transport weight and therefore requires additional considerations while being moved. The signs often remain on the vehicles after transportation for some time, making them some of the most
