Dale my friend, finding a font want happend as the numbers were different between units and and sometimes done very roughly by hand without templates.

Just look how different Panther-unit numbers was in Normandy:

No, forgett fonts! Do like this instead:

1: Decide what unit your tank will be from.
2: Get a decal sheet in 1:35 from Echelon or elsewhere

3: Scale it up to 1:6 and there you are.

Cheers

Hi Dale
I used the etch brass masks from Dave Dibbs at armorpax
the set has inners and outers and the result was very good
on my Panther.

Hello Dale

Daves Dibbs Of Armorpax are good. But worth the money maybe some of you down under and club together and get the large set. I have that one and there are a number of combos you can use.
