Size of Letters for 1/48

[Black-Panther]

Hi can give me any help please ? I would like to know what size letters I would need for a 1/48 Spit MK V111 as pictured below. I'm very green to all this lol...

Many Thanks

Hi Ron - those would be 20" high white code letters - so you need to look for either 20" in 1/48th or 30" in 1/72 ( either will do)

Do you know if you get these letters on a single sheet ? I've got the Barracudacals one already, I want to do different letters.

Have a look at what Fantasy Printshop offer:

FP885 (21" codes in 1/48) would be pretty well ideal but they don't do them in white. But you do have the choice of either 18" (FP884) or 24" (FP886) in white. Doubt if anyone will be able to tell 18" from 20". Just drive off anyone approaching your model with a ruler!

Edit: in retrospect maybe not such a bright idea. The codes on your subject are non-standard (45 degree angled corners), the style of the "M" on the sheet is different and the stroke width may be too thin. Apart from that, they're perfect!
