Hello
First post. Nice group you've all got here. I built models as a kid, but it's been a while. The craft seems to have advanced in the meantime, and I look forward to learning from all of you.
I've looked all over and haven't been able to find anything appropriate. I'm planning a Tamiya 1/48 F4F-4 and want to represent a particular aircraft from the Guadacanal campaign, but can't find a decal sheet with the right numbers.
My grandfather was a pilot in VMF-121 (along with Joe Foss). I recently found a record of the BuNo of the plane he was shot down in (fun fact: Foss was forced down the same day, they were both later rescued) and want to depict it.

Any ideas about where I might dig up an appropriate scale decals with white number 80s in the right font?
thanks so much
