Mithras: I recommend Rad. He has made me some great stencils and really knows his stuff.
Rad_Schuhart: I will be eager to see the decals as they become available. And I will likely need some odd registration numbers for my Remagen T26E3, it being one of the early Pershing tanks, even before the M26 designation was finalized.

Hello my friend,
Plates for the pershing can be made in stencils. If I remember correctly the numbers in the number plate of my sherman are 3,5mm high. That is about the minimum I can make.
About the decals, at this very moment I can make them in all colours except white over transparent and white decal paper.
White numbers over transparent decal paper at this very moment is not possible. The white tonner costs a fortune and for now I will not be getting it, unless I see there is a real big interest on it. Time will tell!

The dry transfer companies must make white letter/numeral military style lettering sheets in 1/16 applicable sizes, no?
Mike.

Thank you all! Rad, you seem to be the man to talk to for this sort of thing!

Archer was big into dry transfers, but they are now out of business. He retired.

Look at large 1/35th scale lettering etc, they can still work for small 1/16th lettering and numbers
