Default F4U-WR5marines lettering file

Hi guys,
I want to mod the graphics on my Corsair to the no.5 WR Marines. I do have access to a vinyl cutter, but need a picture of the lettering or a graphic file. The size doesn't matter as I will generate a vector file. Even a scan of a plastic model graphics would be great.

Thanks, V.

I've just done that plane, Vickie at Get Stencils.com has the file, could cut you the vinyl or masks.

Whit, I wish it was that simple for me. Since I have it shipped to EU, for everything over $20 I pay 20% of the cost + 20% of the cost of the shipping + $10 just for going through the customs. It adds up []

Therefore I'm trying to make most things locally.

I'm looking for a image file of the lettering.

Thanks for helping,V.

all vinyl is glow fuel proof, BUT the adhesive on the vinyl is not, over time fuel will get under the edges and cause it to lift. you will need to clear coat the plane or clean the plane imediately after flying to make them last. I strongly recomend clear coat.

Pappy you are right, I can't type correctly anyway, after all it's just two fingers right? I gave him a link to the font so he can recreate it in the size needed anyway.
