Hi,
So I just learnt what a Buzz number was today.
I had a question which may only be applicable to any repainters, or perhaps any real aircraft painters; there are probably some of them here too. I am trying my hand at repainting, and am slowly learning bits and pieces, but not yet making any actual progress on a paint. I am getting close to starting. Well I have started many times, but I am yet to make a successful start.
I am trying a repaint for the Milviz F-86 in the colours of the 60th FIS Aerobatic Team aircraft. The Milviz paint kit has a USAAF stencil font used for the buzz number, but the aircraft I am trying to paint has a different style. I am just wondering if anyone can tell me what this font is, and perhaps where to get some good samples of this style. I'm not yet sure if I need to paint it in or if I can use a font.
Here is a pic of the aircraft and buzz numbers in question:
Cheers,
