Hapag Lloyd container decals

[Scottl]

Hi everyone,

I've been searching for ages for decals for a 40' Hapag Lloyd container that looks like this:

I have not found anything with Microscale- just wondering if anyone is aware of a source for these decals?

Thanks

Yes!!!  And they are actually made by Microscale and excellent...  However - they may be 1/144th scale and they are expensive.  I would check with the owner - they are really nice folks and they make some of their decal sets in 1/160th as well for "continental" and US modelers.  I imagine the 144 decals would not be too far off anyway:

They also make plastic injection molded container kits - but these are 1/144 and do not fit US/Euro container cars.

Wow, cool source Lou.  1/144 should hardly be noticeable on lettering like this.  I wish they had larger images on the site, but still potentially useful.  FWIW, Hapag-Lloyd 5-packs are on the Deluxe production list, but it's anybody's guess when those will be available.

It seems Walthers has/had Hapag Loyd containers:
