Font for Bristol F2b lettering
« on: December 14, 2012, 05:42:34 PM »
I'm looking to mask the serial number on the tail fin but i'm struggling with the required font. Could anyone recommend something close.

Many thanks

british fonts seem to be hard to find. db decals sells a german sheet with all the main german fonts with letters and numbers but no british or french.

Hello!

There wasn't a specific font as such (at least not in the modern meaning) - although there were distinct styles of lettering, dependant on the sub-contractor. Drop me an email and I'll see if I can help.

Thanks for the help everyone.

I'd bought some of Rowans decals for my AFC Bristol just for the serial number and I wasn't happy with my application of them so I was considering masking the serial. Upon reflection I decided my workmanship was ok and left it as was.

Those Pegasus serials would be useful in 1/32 I'm surprised we haven't seen something similar in that scale yet.
