Hey Paul, all of those fonts came from this page at www.simmerspaintshop.com Download and install into your windows/fonts folder.
It's the most valuable site for repainters, one of my favorites.

Doug

Thanks Doug.

I will get them.

Cheers

I hope so too. I'm having a go at this livery, but I can't find a photo of the underside markings. These yellow banded Fireflies were target tow planes. Does anyone know of a shot?

Why is everyone quoting the post? It appears to be a bug in the forum!! I did not "quote" it and it still appears.

No idea if this picture helps with your particular goal, but here it is. http://scifiblog.net/wp-content/uplo...6260428830.jpg

hmmm. That is odd. Can't look at too many Fireflies though!

Great News, Doug!! Looking forward to the end result.

Here is a couple of screenshots. I worked on this one yesterday most of the day, still, the stripes need work. I'm happy with the results so far. Since there are maybe 3 pictures of Fireflies with this paint scheme online, and 1 illustration, some of this is guess work. So it's fictional based on reality...or something similar like that.

[Blackbird686]

EXCELLENT!!! You are comming along nicely with that one, Doug

Well OK there's a bit of exhaust stain ... but a lot prettier than that sad old thing in your photo above!

[Matt Wynn]

most target tugs wore that scheme to aid in identification so you didn't shoot the tug and not the target


Mossie Target Tug;


Tempest Target Tug;


i think it's safe to say the scheme would have been put onto the Firefly

I'm currently a bit too busy with other projects, but I had already planned to do at least one Dutch Firefly.

LOL!!!! That's funny... Who says that the Dutch don't have a sense of humor?

[Matt Wynn]

thats brilliant, closest has a beard, middle one looks like a kid after raiding the chocolate gateaux and the furthest just looks mean!

[Blackbird686]

Quite Impressive. Doug's Firefly has remained in the sticky category this long. Like I always say... the proof is in the final product, and the Firefly has evolved into a definate keeper. If you don't have this one, go get it.

How would I determine 72 inches on a 1024 x 1024 sheet?

[OleBoy]

mathematically, I can't tell you the equations. But, you can take a photo of a ruler and shrink/enlarge it to 1024 x 1024 and then start scaling it down. It won't be exact, but it should get in the ballpark.

Or maybe this will help. http://www.photoshop-tutorials-plus.com/pixels.html

Seven years ago…

IIRC It was a photo of a drawing I took in the old MLM, I think it was something like this:


Most likely the one at the bottom:
