Can anyone tell me the font type and size used for rather Squadron fuselage lettering on skinnable layers?

I don't use fonts myself, as they don't look realistic. It is better to draw them.
But this one is quite good:
font RCN_80_ATH

Use photo references for getting the size right.

It works best in Photoshop Elements.
In Elements you get the option to use the font 'Bold' (fat). I didn't find that option in the full version of Photoshop; not for this font... but maybe I am wrong.

34390

34391

There is no letter W in this font (you would need to make it yourself using two Vs).


font RAF_WW2_851ATH is quite good too, and has more squarish letters:

34392

34393

This is a collection of fonts that people around the forums and in games various have posted over the years. There are kill markings and emblems in there too. Ive grouped them into the nations and forces there are supported to be intended for.

Hi,
Major_Setback and guys, where can I get hold of RCN_80_ATH font ? Its not in Boo's excellent compilation.
a download link per chance ?

The squarer font, I have not seen RAF codes with sharp internal corners as such, but stand to be corrected, any pics showing such are welcome.

Perhaps Major setback would be good enough to upload it. The only one I can find suits gimp whilst the others all lead to dead links that are now haunted by dodgy java scripts..

AVOID ANY LINKS TO "simmerspaintshop" !!!

Here...

One of the German fonts works well for serial numbers (tail, or rear fuselage).



[Edit: See download below, re-posted by Boo in the download section].
