I want to buy white letters and numbers

[McNab]

Hi everyone 

 

l have been looking for white capital letters and numbers in varying sizes for a few WWI scratch build projects l have in mind. 

 

I have looked until blue blue in face, but no luck so far. I work in 1:32 and 1/35 scale.

 

please please help if you can!

 

Thanks in advance 

Andrew

I imagine that most of what you're talking about would have been hand painted and not necessarily a standard font.

 

You could either google white Letraset (eg https://www.mayfairstationers.co.uk/office-supplies/letraset-dry-transfers/letraset-white.html) or have your own decals made. Different fonts and sizes of Letraset would will probably be expensive.

Not quite sure what you are after but have you tried the search engine at Hannants?

 

This is one result:

Hi Nick, the font, or not the font... that is the question 😊 l agree that much could have been hand painted and it isn’t unusual to see vehicles marked up in chalk or similar. So much is left to speculation - let us not get started on colours!! 😆 on my mind l have ended up just doing what looks right and what pleases me (me, me, it’s all about me) 

 

l suppose one could cut masks if one were able, but this one ‘ere isn’t! Far beyond my skills atm. But thank you for the letraset idea l may well use it in the future.

 

cheers
