The "1's" are way off in the part number, but it's like everything else I looked at, close but no cigar. Leo, that part number is for a Nomad decal sheet. I think the rocket was in production from 1980 - 82, so your font is at least 36 years old.Arial Black: Below or Arial something or another. Arial bold has thinner letters.
Hey, that's handy! Thanks! I've had the same problem myself.Here are two places I look to match fonts. I saw some very similar matches but nothing perfect. Close enough though. You can use your image as an upload but you might want to increase the contrast to maximum.

Hmmm, I just used this site and this is what I found.The completely busted kerning on the original decal sheet suggests almost proves that they used rub-on dry transfer lettering to do it. So you're probably really looking for fonts from old Letraset sheets. Letraset has morphed into a font company Identifont, which has quite a nice font finder. But knowing it was probably Letraset transfers, and what the common stuff was, I'm pretty sure it's good old Helvetica Bold. The shapes of the B, R, 5, and 1 are very convincing.

While I agree it was probably dry transfer letters based on the letter spacing and alignment, I have to disagree that it is Helvetica. The Estes font has rounded edges while Helvetica is very square. The counters of the letters S and 3 are also very different, especially on the number 3.The completely busted kerning on the original decal sheet suggests almost proves that they used rub-on dry transfer lettering to do it. ..<snip>..
