Progress is slow right now I am trying to get the web site and auction going. I have found some time to do a little work on the Jet. It will be marked in my old squadron colors.

Robert,

As you already know I love Navy schemes.   I am finishing my Avanti in late a 1930's F4F color scheme.  I have the AMARILLOUSAF military true type font if you would like a copy.  This font is the type that is used on all military planes from the 30's through today.  My Challenger 40 uses this font.

Thanks I know the font as I was a painter in the Navy. However I used the late blue Angels font instead of squadron fonts and some modern ones too. Not trying to make it look semi scale just create the illusion.
