Good people,

It is my intention to make decals of this
often overlooked marking. My plan is to
custom print each order to match to
customers specs. As there is no default
sizes for the wheels of the same aeroplane
issued as different kits the customer will
provide me with the outside and inside diameters
of the tires of their particular kit and I will
size to fit. Not a problem in Corel.

I have finished my drawing of the lettering
but I need to know the sizes of the tyres as
used on the various aeroplanes.

For example: 700 X 75 is called for on the
Sopwith Camel, I think.

Even if you know only one, please help.

Thank You,

Mike the modelhound

It seems to me that Eduard provided a set of the Palmer cord tyre lettering in one of their 1:48 Sopwith Triplane kits.
