Hi guys. I am looking for 1/72nd scale lettering in white for my SIK FOR YA build. I need to write SFOR twice in letters which are about 18 - 20 inches in height in real life. Any ideas?

Revell's Challenger tank and some of their German wheeled APCs include those markings.

What about the old Letraset rub off letters, most were in black or white. I have some somewhere - but where!

Hello Shaun,
try a signwriter, ask for computer cut letters,.. scale should be no problem or the colour, they are self adhesive back and with whats called carrying on the front this will give you the correct spacing.....letter style will be no problem, there are thousands .....

Paint the area white first, apply the black lettering, paint the camouflage pattern. Use an eraser (rubber) and X-Acto knife blade to remove the lettering and reveal the white paint underneath.Thanks guys. I had the lettraset idea too, but can only find black ones.
