Scott Lowther took a bunch of pics at Dayton that I composited into a flat side view. Using that and the other reference I have I did all the markings and I'm developing a set of decals based on the flush rivets and screws that are visible.

I studied each marking and made sure they matched the real vehicle. I wanted them to look like they were just applied. On the vehicles on display the markings are either heavily weathered or new and not stencils. I made new fonts in CAD since there aren't any made that do the job. In CAD I'm able to overlay the CAD model over the reference pics.

All times are CT (US)
