Re: Early Vintage Rough Rider
Finally got the number stickers. These are off 2 separate sheets and are exactly the same size. I just learnt that for correct font sizes, the curved numbers need to be slightly larger to “correct” the optical illusion. I chose 79 as that is the year this kit was released, so just seemed right. As far as the 79 goes, I figure in the 70’s that things like numbers were probably hand cut for off road race cars, so the slight oddity of the number seems to not bother me too much. Will get some outside pics this weekend.
