Ladies and Gents, am working on my latest RC Model, and (a) some of you will be interested, and (b) i need a little help from you guys.
Full "build" thread is located at: modelflyingnz.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=109&p=669#p458
For those who not want to read the whole deal, is a 6ft span Harvard (prebuild in chinese factory) model i am doing a few conversions and "improvements" on. Has flaps, retracts and powered by a 17cc 1.8hp petrol motor.
Previously flew in this guise:
But when rebuilt, will look more or less like this:
The questions i have for you guys are: (Barf are you still around?)
The orange paint, i understand (from the relevant repaint thread about this girl) is representative of the dayglo.
I quite like the fact it is orange, is this representative of the real deal? I'm not after hard out uber scale correctness, if it was "orange" then good enough for me! (i.e. not the deep red the ardmore based machines carry?)
The markings i will have vinyl cut:
- does someone have the font(s) (as a ttf or similar) they can share?
- does someone have details of the markings, especially the fernleaf and the fin crest as a resonably high res drawing i can have? (Autocad or similar preferred if poss)
Thanks in advance, and will post the odd pic as the rebuild progresses.

Test flight is only hours away, which will be followed by application of the vinyl markings, otherwise is finished.
