Grim: I'm on it.
My car looks almost exactly the same, save for my trim being unpainted...
I need some fresh paint on it anyway, my last coat of flat black is starting to come off in places.
<and it's finally starting to be sunny sometimes!>
If you want to pitch in, find where I can get some 'authentic' AF stencils online!

ya prolly gots a make dem
.. ahem.... yeah. What I'd do is find some nice hi quality pictures of fighter jets and whatnot and just print them onto paper then transfer them onto some of that presentation paper cardboard which is thin, but won't bleed through.

So far no luck...
but there has to be some company that makes them, someone has to supply the military...
<not to mention supplying enthusiasts/restorers/whatver>
Now I get to find some hapless SM/SF guy who is in the air force, I wouldn't be surprised if they use them once then toss em.

Figure out what you want, and get the SM sticker guy to print them for you onto vinyl. Pictures of the various things written on fighter jets shouldn't be very hard to come up with... and I bet standard ARIAL font will look fine.
Good place to start, now that I found a font I like I just need to decide between vinyl and spending my time making a crapload of stencils...

Thinkin NO STEP in the right places, my name under the drivers side window, some sort of supra based squadron markings, one of those yellow 'RESCUE' arrows pointing towards each door handle, and a fake serial number likely involving the number 1337 or 13...
And some Honda kill markers
:naughty:
and the verdict is still up in the air on doing a shark mouth motif on the front/fenders.... thinking mebbe in the gloss black, as opposed to in color, dunno.
