Mott Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Good evening. Long time listener, first time caller. I have been asked to make a Centurion fit Tranche 2 Typhoon FGR4 for a friend in 1/48 scale. I have the kit (Revell) and all the various pylons, pod, bombs and missiles. The only thing I haven't sourced are the registration and tail numbers. I have only ever made the Tranche 1 models with the ZJ9** and ZJ8** before and most kits come with a comprehensive set of decals for these marks. At this point all the person I'm building it for has told me is it will be "ZK3**). Does anyone out there know of pre-made decal sets or the correct individual letter and number kits available in roughly the same scale then I can produce the desired finished model? Tail letters are larger and white and the registration numbers are smaller and dark grey. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll post an image of the actual aircraft when they get back to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mott Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 Thanks for all your help. I will do some more research on the subject. May be able to coble some together from my old decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mott Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 The person I'm making it for just got back with the desired tail number and it's not in any of the after market kits! Typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 For a couple of my ZK... builds, I cobbled together the serials from some of those Xtradecal sheets mentioned above. For the relevant tail numerals, I used Xtradecals' generic RAF/RN 'white serial numbers' in 1/72 scale. You can create any tail code you desire from any of the serials you may get from the other decal sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
