Hello,
I was thinking of putting in casting numbers on German AFV builds being planned. I may as well try it on the mantlet of my E-25 currently in the works. Some questions:
* As an alternative to sanding off numbers from sprues -- would there be an AM source for these bits?
* Aside from the mantlet, where would these numbers typically be found (externally)?
* Lastly, is there a convention that needs to be followed, or would a random set of digits do just fine?
Cheers,
Tat

Archer Fine Transfers makse sets of casting numbers. While nominally meant for US made vehicles, numbers are numbers and they would work for anything when properly arranged.

All of the surface Detail stuff is here:

Also look at the other shapes because they don't have to be used for what they are named at all.
