Hi all.
Im building the PM Models Sea Fury,,( not recommended for those of a nervous disposition), for the Suez Campaign.
Ive managed to source some Egyptian decals in 1:72, and Im going to mask and spray the bands on the fusalage,but what Im stuck on is the serial numbers.
Ive ordered some decal paper so thats no problem,but Im unsure which font to use and what size?
Egyptian Sea Fury
Any suggestions?

Hi Penny.
Thanks for that,,lots of fonts there!
Its mainly the size thats confusing me at the moment,,guess I'll just have to play around and print onto paper until I get something like the right size.
All I need to do is either 701,702,or 703. Good job Im not much of a rivet counter or this could well drive me over the edge,,lol
