    Number font on MiG-21s?

    I was hoping someone could help me. I'm in the process of skinning MiG-21s for Strike Fighters and was wanting to make custom decals for the aircraft numbers. Does any one know of a font that would fit the bill?

    USAAF Stencil Code is close-

    One of the RAF fonts looks really close only it's not a stencil font.

    Get it right here-

    Other than that, I'm at a loss :

    Ok, so there is a bit more leeway then I thought. That RAF font may be the one I"m looking for, I had thought of using DINSchablonierschrift as well since it looked like those I saw on DDR MiG's. Thanks!

    BTW, great Beefheart quote...

    HEY! You know Beefheart! I've been using that for 3 or 4 years and have been saying it for close to 20 but it's rare, if ever, that anyone knows it!

    ME TOO! "There is naught, nor ought there be, nothing so exalted on the face of God's grey earth as that prince of music, ZAPPA!
    Or should I say, "Who could IMAGINE that they would freak out on Simmer's Paintshop?"
