Default scale markings

OK guys, I've built a TF P-47 kit and am trying to get some lettering/numbering stencils or some way to finish the job. It is covered with monocote, however I did not like the Olive Drab color (too blueish)and so painted over that portion with Model Master enamel. Color is now perfect. Note the difference between the elevators and the as yet unpainted fuse. Will follow up with Lustrecote clear to fuelproof. I could use wet decal printed from my computer but cannot find the proper fonts. I had thought of cutting the lettering, etc from the approptiate color monocote but, not thinking ahead, now realize I cannot iron them on over the enamel. Any suggestions out there?

Here's a free download for the fonts. You can also use monokote but do not iron. Just use winded and lay the font on. Blot and let dry.. should be fine if you are using glow fuel you may need to clear coat first.

Call Vikie at get stencils she can make you any type of decal or paint masks that you want at very low prices and great quality. I have had her do the paint masks and some dry transfers for my BVM F-100 and F-86. They where both done for under $150.00.
