White serial numbers and code letters of American aircraft in nine heights, from six to thirty-six inches, in 1:48.
Responsibility details are not available.
Besides the national insignia, American machines carried two further groups of lettering without which a model never looks finished. On the vertical tail there tended to be an abbreviated serial number that identified the machine unambiguously, and on the sides of the fuselage a pair of letters denoting the unit together with the letter of the particular aircraft. The combination of the two makes a model a particular example with a history of its own, not a general representative of a type.
A modeler regularly gets into the situation where a boxed sheet offers only one or two variants and he wants to build a machine according to a photograph of his own. A set of loose numerals and letters is the only way to put the marking needed together, and that is why builders of American aircraft buy it again and again. The remaining characters are also left in reserve for the next build.
The print covers nine heights of character, specifically from six inches up to thirty-six. The small steps will serve for codes and small numbers, the largest belong on the pronounced identification markings on the lower wing surface and on the large areas of transport and bomber types.
Putting a row of characters together straight calls for patience. It proves best to apply the characters one at a time and to let the film merely tack between them, so that it can still be moved. Anyone who marks out the bottom line of the lettering in advance with a soft pencil saves himself the rearranging that a thin print may not survive. Store the rest of the sheet flat and away from light, as white yellows in time.
