Okay, this is not my normal area of knowledge but I'm in a bit of a bind needing to fix a repaint to get a video done. In this case, it's the Milviz F-4E Thunderbird repaint (the only one I'm aware of) which overall is excellent but there are two glaring issues. One, the National Insignia markings on each side of the fuselage are not correct and the Number 5 font in the left vertical stab is tilting (Italic) forward (while the right side is perfect). I have for some time now asked the author about fixing it but apparently that's falling to the wayside now and I need to perform the fixes myself ASAP. I'd be grateful if anyone here can point me towards the source of the proper National Insignia markings (for the T-Birds at that time frame) and the type of number font to straighten it out vertically. Any other suggestions/help will be greatly appreciated. Samples of the errors attached and a good side shot of an F-4E T-Bird.

This could help:

Save the images and then just pretty much treat the decals for the paintkit like decals for a model, i.e. cut & paste.

Thanks, that looks like it'll do the trick!
