Hi!

Again a wonderful aircraft! Thank you so much! I am really looking out for the single seaters!

I realised that on the German Navy version now included the font for the "MARINE" logo is incorrect. It should be a font called "DIN Mittelschrift". If you don't have it available, I could certainly let you have it.
It looks that it is correct, though, on your P3D Tornado.

Best regards,

Seawing

Thanks Jan Kees, but are you sure that it is for the 71304 that you made a texture, it is not rather for the 71319 ?
