IJN Tail Code PSD file?

[Gewehr98]

Hey all,

 

About 15 years ago a guy named Goshikisen made an illustrator file for IL2 1946 that had the IJN tail code typeface on it. I have a low-res version of the file but I would love to get the original illustrator or photoshop file. It was on Skinner's Heaven but that site is long since gone. 

 

Does anyone still have this file floating around somewhere? Thanks!

The only person I can think of that is still active in IL-2 from that time frame that might have it would be Beebop. Conjuring his name three times just like Beetlejuice may get a response from him. @Beebop, @Beebop, @Beebop.

 

Looked into finding the file at the Internet Archive and that was a bust too...

 

Bearcat may be another one that would have it?

@Bearcat,

Thanks for the attempted summoning! I shall keep my fingers crossed.

Well the Internet Archive may have saved the day once again???

 

I downloaded the file that is still active at the link in the code box below and there is definitely something in it.

You will need to be the one to determine if it meets your needs @Gewehr98.

Oh that's awesome! Just what I needed. I was hoping there would be more letters in there but the numbers are the most important part.

 

Thank you so much!

 

We ought to get this re-hosted in case a Pacific Great Battles ever happens.

Seems that someone must have heard your request.
