Some impressive research there!

I have a watch from local makers ZeroWest which contains some actual aluminium from ED825 AJ-T, so for that reason, that's the way I'm leaning. I gather from ZW that they commissioned an HK Lanc build for their shop, based on that airframe, from Spencer Pollard, so I must drop in sometime to have a look. There's some info here I did buy the HK Dambuster conversion to go with the original Border kit, in the hope that it would fit without too much faffing, so I'm torn as to whether I want to do a Dambuster version, or the original build. I am rather attracted to all those bombs in the standard version!

I had exactly the same problem with Cricut Designspace. The ubiquitous RAF TTF file loads nicely in Word, but not in Cricut. As described, I typed out what I need in Word, then screengrabbed it, and saved as PNG. I actually converted it to SVG before importing into Cricut, but I think I could probably have taken it straight in. You should be able to scale from there. I'm preparing a Border Lanc build, so I'll be using masks for the lettering, rather than decals. Now to do some roundels!
