Courageous Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hi Guys, Can you tell me if a decal sheet containing the above exists in 1/72, the numbers/ letters are rounded and not the 'cropped corner' type? Failing that, does anybody know what the font is so I can look into making my own? TIA Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hi Stuart, You are looking for North American fonts, for SAbres, for example? M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 To save time, if you want the NA letters (for Sabres) they are not available as downloadable fonts. I asked the same a while back. There are some producers of decals but you need to do some searching. In the end I went for a machine that didn't need them! M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 If you make your own the RCN_8O_ATH_GIMP font might be a starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Hi Martin, your previous response to this post was spot on, they're are for Sabres. Unfortunately, no decals exist for this particular one because it's for my TF-86 that I'm building at the moment. I was after more the generic type letters/ numbers and by the sounds of it different manufacturers had different fonts which doesn't help...so much for standardization! So it looks like this: 53 minutes ago, Caerbannog said: If you make your own the RCN_8O_ATH_GIMP font might be a starting point. could be the way to go. Where can I find this font?

perdu Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 A very basic Google search will find RCN_8O_ATH_GIMP as a downloadable font It is a fairly simple task then to transfer it into the font bank in your own computer It cannot be too hard to do it, I managed it myself without help Good luck, these USAF ones can be the very devil to find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you supply a link please? Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 It's not your Googlefoo that is misfiring, mine too but by dint of comprehensive trawling through FREE AIRCRAFT FONTS I found RCN and RCAF fonts in here http://web.archive.org/web/20020210183915/members.aol.com/p5219/fonts.htm I'm not sure whether these will help you but that Horvath site has gazillions of fonts for free download http://hans.presto.tripod.com/fonts/stencil5.html (Oh OK not gazillions but really quite a lot) Good luck with your quest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 I've got the font but it needs modifying. Thanks Perdu, much appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
