        Does anyone have any recommendations on getting or creating accurate stencils? I have the Stinson drawing that shows what stencils and where they go as well as period photos of some for reference. I have the ability to create a paint mask but need the correct stencil font. Before I try to create each letter I thought I would ask what other have done?

         

        Thanks

          Matt: 76-01003, Note 3 calls for Arabic numbers and letters, with a reference to Spec 98-24105.  I suspect that if you selected an Arabic Bold san serif, you would be close enough.  I’ve got the cover from a wing that was done in the early 50’s as a spare part. I’ll look this weekend and see if I can find it packed away in the warehouse.

            Hi Matt, I used the Diagraph and Marsh (brands of stencil cutters) stencil cutting machines for my plane.  Photos attach  ( I hope:)
