Looking for a font

Post by geopetlas »

Hey guys,

Does anyone know what font was used for the squadron letters on the A2A military p-51 "Blondie"

You could start with a font called "amarillousaf" but you will need to draw the red border by hand.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the replies.
I found a font called, Milestone One which matches the overall shape. The tail of the letter Q is a bit too long, but a bit of creative editing will handle that problem. And a bit of stretching of the width of the letters will match the width of the lettering in the A2A Blondie.

Jacques, yes I have Amarillo USAF but the corners are angled which would require a lot of editing.

As far as borders go if you use Photoshop then instead of drawing the border by hand all you need do is add a Stroke to the font. Or, you can create a new layer under the layer with the font then using the magic wand tool select the letter and then expand the selection by one or two pixels, then making sure you are in the layer under the font layer, fill the selection with the border color of your choice.
