Red Numbers

[Mossie]

Hi all, I'm after two lots of red number 26, or seperate 2's & 6's (i.e. a set of the number 26 for each side of an aircraft).

The scale isn't important, just something around 10-13mm in height.  I've spotted some on 1/48 Tally Ho! & FCM Luftwaffe number sets that would work fine, but everywhere seems to be sold out.

The style I'm after is in the pic below & should hopefully be available from a Luftwaffe or Soviet set.



I know it's a bit specific but thanks in advance!!!

I might have something. I'll have a look and get back to you in a bit.

if you need them i have some soviet ones, come with white or yellow backgrounds, pm me if you want them

[Mossie]

Thanks guys, preferably without an outline, although the white would be doable.  It's for a Soviet theme, so that shade of red would be just right.

I know paint creep can be a problem at times, but have you considered masking and simply painting them on rather than decals?

I'm pretty rubbish at cutting things out freehand, but now that you mention it Greg I might have a go.

I recommend using the image you posted earlier as a template/mask.

Sorry if i didn't make myself clear the decals come with seperate slightly bigger decals as an outline !

Like i said if you want them pm me your address as i'm in town Monday so can post them then for you.

I've got loads of "2"s, but no "6"s unfortunately.

Thanks guys, I'm giving Gregs suggestion a try so I'll let you know how it turns out.  Tim, I might still take you up on th offer.  Alun, thanks for looking!

[Mossie]

Tim, I'll gladly take you up on those decals!  I had a little practice on a scrap model & I got reasonable results, but decals would work out much better.  PM on it's way!
