Hunter underwing serials in 1/32

[pigsty]

Part umpteen of my very slow gathering of bits for a Hunter conversion.  Stay tuned for at least twenty more years for the result!

 

A few years ago a very kind Britmodeller let me have some Echelon decals to add to my Flightpath parts for converting the big Revell FGA.Mk.9 to a GA.Mk.11.  Today (only today!) I realised that I had only the white decals for the serial number and the tactical code.  I don't have the black serial numbers that go under the wing.

 

So ... does anyone know of a source of black 1960s-style serial numbers in 1/32 that would be suitable for use in that position?  A generic sheet that supplied a range of letters and numbers would be perfect.  Alternatively, if anyone has such a sheet and could spare two sets of letters to make up WT804, I'd be very happy to slip you a couple of Flanian pobble beads for them.

Can anyone at all help?

The underwing serials are 24 inches in real life, which means that Xtradecal X32013, designed for Lightnings, could get you there - certainly for the numbers at least. To get the W and T, you'd have to perform some surgery on other letters on the sheet. Invert an M, and splay and extend the 'arms' to get a W; get inventive with the spare 1s to make a T?

Hope this helps!

Big thanks to speedy for the exact decals I needed, in double-quick time too.  Much quicker than I can promise to build the old thing!  Steve is an absolute star and I'd recommend him to anyone.
