Title: P-51D Left Side Fuselage Below Windscreen Text - What should it say?
Post by: Vraciu on July 26, 2014, 04:32:37 PM

What is the standard wording for the black lettering under the windshield on the LH side of the Pony D?

Some squadrons had customized wording there.   I am talking about the standard black lettering identifying the model of the airplane and so on...

I don't want to do it by memory and screw it up.

It's so small, I wouldn't think it would be readable on a skin.

Perfect.  Thank you, sir.    :cheers:   :salute

I won't expect it to be readable but I want to make sure when I resample the text I at least have it correct.

Make sure you start by recreating the stencil as a much larger image then shrink it to fit the area on the skin.
