Beautiful work!
So you use the shipskin and paint the name on it, or do you have a different method?
I think when I remember correctly, SH3 uses only 7 external skins. (Did that change with SH4?) Problem for me would be, that I just need to change the number of the Unit and doing a seperate skin for the whole ship just because of a number would too much mb's for such little difference.
But after searching abit more, I found this mod by privateer:

Which makes it possible to get a personal emblems on different locations.
When I have time, it should be possible to transfer this to a new built ship I think. This way just little texturefiles would give different shipnumbers.
Another idea is to make a transperant 3d space at the wanted part of the shipmodel and link a texture with alpha-channel. But no idea if it works and I can't try at the moment

, just thinking loud
