I do not remember who Doug uses for his lettering, but the guy is a master. What blew me away was that I only had a handful of photos from 40 years ago, yet the accuracy is uncanny. Many of the decals and lettering on the car were one-offs that had to be hand-created. Doug had me fill out a five page questionnaire that gave him a lot of information about colors and parts, but I am still amazed. I have the model sitting in a display case on my desk and stop and ponder the quality of work regularly.
