KC-135 Serial number fonts

[phantomfreak]

Where can I find the fonts to add serial numbers to a texture that I'm trying to paint? Also the U.S. Flag that is on the tail?

USAF fonts are usually a font called "Amarillo USAF". You can do a Google search for that font name and download and then add it to your version of Windows.

For the flag, do a Google image search for "American Flag gif" that should get you what you need.

LOVE that font...been using it the last couple of years for a lot of different things.

Would there happen to be a free version of the 'shadowed' version? Or has anyone made that font/modified it off the Amarillo? I know there is a 34$ oneout there.. but comon...(http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/radardesign/b-52/)

I usually just use the drop shadow in PSPX3 or Photoshop. Not using GIMP so do not know if it will do that.

[phantomfreak]

With the drop shadow effect, can the shadow be colored? I.e. a black or gray number/letter with a red shadow.

You can also just copy/duplicate the first set of letters/numbers as a second layer in whatever color you want, then just move them into the correct shadowed position.

dang...thats a no go with Gimp (I'm pretty sure anyways...guess I need to break down and get the Adobe suite before Im not a student soon and cant get the discount.

You can get older versions of PSP or PhotoShop on Ebay for less than $10 including shipping, you don't need all the bells and whistles. My version of PSP is 6 years old.

Yes letters and shadows can be done in any color. Shadows can be various degrees of opacity and blur. Shadows can be various degrees of up/down and left/right. And as Mike said, the shadow can be placed on a different layer.
