I think i have arabic text to use on the 1-11 but looking at its A to Z the writing on the aircraft doesnt seem to match it...now im really confused :dunno:

Ideally i need to know what the writing says....anyone speak arabic lol

Jason32,
Have a look here:

I had a feeling Arabic was a right-to-left language but it seems it can be both :brick:

Hope this helps

As i said earlier...there are many different versions of arabic writing and fonts....i tried english to arabic translation and everything i tried came nowhere near close.... :dunno:

Maybe do what i did and cut and resize the fonts from photos.....comes out ok... :dunno:

If I put Royal Omani Air Force into an English Arabic translator, I get:

http://translation.babylon.com/English/to-Arabic# : first and third word on the 111 are included

http://www.stars21.com/translator/engli ... rabic.html : might be an exact match - certainly 1st, 3rd and 4th words seem correct

http://translate.google.com/translate_t# : exact match?


@Techy Is that last character of the "553" serial correct? Looks like the top tail needs to be longer

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Arabic_numerals


Edit: agree with Tony that the only way to get the exact match is to create from photo - I am sure Arabic script has the same variety of fonts that we have!

Well I spotted the lack of tin cans but not knowing the model well, I assumed there wasn't such a version available :)
