Years ago I used Datak rub on lettering. Are they still around? What are you using?

It is still referenced on the Philmore-Datak website (page 273 of their catalog): http://www.philmore-datak.com/mc/Page%20273.pdf

They have an "amateur radio" part number for black (K59BLK) and white (K59WHT).

What are you using?
I used water slide decal paper from the hobby shop on my last project.  Print with a laser printer, spray 1 thin coat of clear Krylon, apply to your panel per directions, then clear coat the entire panel.

The only problem with using printable mediums for decals or lettering is no "white". I had to resort to an old pack of Datak dry transfers for my GK 500 rebuild. They are a lifesaver, but do not age very well.

Hi

Try commercial art supply stores. They have every font, size and, color possible for both decals and dry transfer.
