I am in the process of building revell's 1/32 hawker hunter and it is going to be airbrushed in the 'Miss Demeanor' paint scheme. Im having a problem finding an accurate font for the pilot's name and plane's name and i was wondering if anyone would be able to help as i am going to need to create my own decals for this and i want to be as accurate as possible.
Many thanks

Not knowing what the font looks like, I may be moving in the dark here, but do you have access to Adobe PhotoShop or Illustrator? They have a pretty good font selection, and you can stretch the font vertically or horizontally to get correct letter proportions after you've set the text as an image.

Hi Samantha
If you have any true vector-based programme, you should be OK - try "Paths" in Photoshop (you can always use a standard font as a starting point). Contact me direct if you're having problems - so long as you have a decent pic to work from I can create some artwork for you.
All the best
