Who wanted a grey hawk?

I have a Centre of Aviation Medicine paint pretty much complete, bar the 'Centre of Aviation Medicine' text.

All I needed was the correct font to complete it.

There you go nicgreen.

Don't suppose anyone would know the font in question? Can't remember if I asked here before, but I obviously never found out if I did!

It's such a basic scheme, I'd hate to get the main feature wrong...

What the font (http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/) suggests these as close matches:

Cheers for that, Chris. I'll give it a shot after work, later.

I would say it's Helvetica Narrow (BOLD), or a clone of that which is a fairly standard "stencil" font.

I don't take much credit for this, given how little was done (roundels, fin flash, text and serial) but this looks about done to me.

I went with Helvetica Narrow in the end, as the C's didn't look quite right on the other fonts. Thanks to both of you, either way.

Ok, the paint is in the queue at AVSIM and Classic British Files. Should be available soon.

Fantastic - that looks spot on - many thanks! I'll look out for the file...

No problem. Happy to help.
