font wise (had to check some of my FAA mods), you "get away with" ArmilloUSAF or USAAFCode. the RAF/RCAF fonts are too thin and too rounded

 

"N" is the code for HMS IMPLACABLE

Wondering If someone have the values for those three colours. They will be better, as the pdf book is claryfing but can't use it to select the colour.

 

About the font, Amarillo USAAF will work, thanks Wrench!

there are a lot of colorcharts with rgb numbers stored.

maybe you should have a look there?

Ah and there are tons of military fonts available too....

 

 

Amarillo won´t fit...

UK always use their own style of font... ;-)

I downloaded tons of templates and markings of that site, but never discovered that part until now!! Thanks Soulfreak.

 

Any idea for the Royal Navy fonts?

again, depenging... a lot of the LendLease airraft had markings applied at the factory (Grumman, Vought, etc), and 'american style' paints and codes were applied.

on the Martlets I just released, the Mk.IV (iirc) uses 'american' style lettering. Sometime we use the 'best closest fit'

 

but if someone come up with the exact font, I could sure it!!!

Also can't find the exact marking used on those planes, anyone have it?

what about the colors? They're standard FAA and/or USN (in the Hellcat II's case)

 

have you looked in the WW2 downloads section? I've done shitloads of FAA (Home Fleet, EIF and BPF) skins and decals

So something like FAA Sky and Medium Sea Grey?
