1/48 USN Letters and Numbers
Posted by jarhead_50_5.0 on Thursday, June 5, 2014 11:54 PM
Hi all, I am looking for a source for generic 1/48 scale numbers and letters for USN markings for Vietnam era aircraft, such as the tail codes and numbers and squadron. I am trying to put together what would be needed for a Fleet Composite Squadron 1965-1969. Thank you for suggestions.

1/48 is the easy scale for this

www.microscale.com/.../merchant.mvc (these are out right now, but, they get re-printed)

the other option is to go to Sprue Brothers and look for Darren Roberts' Steel Beach brand of products,,,,,you will find re-usable vinyl stencils for USN/USMC aircraft

lol, tell him Rex sent ya, and maybe someday after enough referrals he will release the stencils for a 1/72 Jarhead buddy

Along the same lines, I'm wondering if anyone makes 48 scale decals of "Navy" and "Marines" in the standard sizes used on Navy/Marine aircraft in white, I have the sheet Superscale used to make in black, but haven't been able to locate a similar sheet in white.

Any ideas fellas?

Same link, bottom of the page

they are down in the "new numbering system" part of the page,,,,,each shows over 100 in stock

another useful link is http://pacificaeropress.com/ this is the link to the Scalemaster decal company that printed a lot of kit-included decals over the decades.
