Looks good so far, and fair play, I HATE doing hand painted numbers and sign writing.

Chris the Germans used stencils sometimes,and other times they just hand painted the numbers on.So you have done a fine job and looks good to me, Blake

Chris,I'm sorry I have been distracted with other things. I meant to tell you to use a SHARPIE MARKER for the out line,it would dry fast and not blend in with the red,also it has a fine point and would be easier to control. But you seem to of done a fine job,have you used any kind of DULLCOTE or similar product? I hope mine turns out so well,Keith has some of the parts I need so soon I will be finishing the Jagdpanther and start on the King Tigers. Cheers Blake
