jimmaas Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Ventura has just released a sheet of 8 inch serial letters and numbers (K, J, N) in black and black with white outline (for aircraft with the pre August 1934 rudder stripes). The sheet reflects a variety of styles used. The sheet is V4898. I don't have any additional info on underwing serials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Pheon's Hawker Demon & Gloster Gladiator sheets have a fair chunk of stuff on them - might be worth a look? Jonners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawk Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Modeldecal did 3 sheets in 1/72 covering a range of interwar sizes and styles (104-106). Think you would find the instructions to these (as ever with Modeldecal a mine of information) useful: drop me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send you a scan. PS Short answer is 6", 8", 18", 20", 24" and 30". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_c67 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 One answer maybe printing your own. I've got some decal paper in preparation for such a project. Problem is, you're gonna be constricted by the quality of your printer. Most can pull off the normal block colours, Black, Blue etc. but may struggle with ones such as sky and unless you're very lucky, no chance of white! Something I'm trying to look in to myself...
